Festivals, festivity and festive mood - is what Tamilnadu stands for. The beauty and charisma of the cities here can only be described by scenic adjectives, even better portrayed via a poem. The poem called Tamilnadu offers magnificent Dravidian era temples, picturesque natural resorts, religious pilgrimage sites of different religions and much more. Lakes, woods, local markets, multi cuisine, religious festivals, colorful landscapes, tea gardens, historic monuments and a warm sense of hospitality. Such is the warmth of friendliness here that you will hardly ever see a face devoid of a smile. Apart from all these pictorial attractions, the art based display here is something which not many civilizations can boast of. Traditional art, dance and music forms will enthrall you to the core. With such a varied array of tourist attractions, the land of Tamilnadu would come to you as a nice joyful mental dichotomy (a situation where you are just not able to choose amongst equally powerful options) while choosing which attractions to settle on and which to give amiss. Pongal is one of the biggest of Tamilnadu festivals. Celebrated in honor of the harvest season, Pongal (Makar Sankranti for the rest of India) is a time when the Tamilnadu is at its colorful best. Tamilnadu tourism has promoted the festival well; hence most visitors will identify India, especially southern part of India will festive celebrations like Pongal. It is said that Carnatic music and the Bharatanatyam dance form is at its best in south India, especially Tamilnadu. Tamilnadu tour packages cover special performances of classical dances, music and art forms during evenings. Evening independent or escorted walks through the city and local markets are recommended during your stay in Tamilnadu, for you will see the local culture from close quarters. All this while you enjoy delicious Chettinad cuisine which is typically served on big banana leaves. Make space in your digital camera, as you would be tempted to click and shoot more often than what you do in a normal vacation; after all it is Tamilnadu, a piece of history served with culture. One more reason to be in Tamilnadu is for its famed medical tourism. Lastly, with hill stations like Ooty (locally called as Udhagamandalam) and Kodaikanal, you will always feel you should have bargained for a couple of more days while visiting the intriguing land of Tamilnadu.
