at the southern tip of the Indian Peninsula. It has a
coastline of about 1000 km long. Colourful, exuberant,
Friendly. Finding its ultimate expression in the stone, in
music and religion. It is the home of Dravidian art and
culture. Its history, art, architecture and religion are
relfected by its temple towns. The splendid festivals, the
feast of camative music and famous dance from Bharatam Natyam,
the shimmering silk of Kanchipuram and the most delicious
South Indian food lingers for long in the memory of the
visitor. Other factes of Tamil Nadu are its wildlife and its
hill resorts that dot the Nigirs. It is also one of the
