Tamil Nadu- A Surviving Ancient Civilization

For over 2500 years, Tamil Nadu is the home of the last surviving classical civilization of the world. Unique cultural festivals like Bharatnatyam (classical dance), Tanjore painting and Tamil architecture were developed during the ancient times and continue to be practised in Tamil Nadu.

Tamil Nadu is no doubt, famous for grand Hindu Temples with intricate Dravidian architecture, multi-religious pilgrimage sites and three UNESCO World Heritage Sites… yet the land is dotted with sandy beaches, lush nature and wildlife.
