In this land of temple spires, the devout and the connoisseur of art both pay homage. There’s the Brahadeeswara Temple at Thanjavur constructed so that the shadow of its 81.3 ton monolithic cupola never falls on the ground or the Meenakshi temple at Madurai dedicated to the fish-eyed goddess. Choose between the Nizam’s splendours of Hyderabad, the garden city of Bangalore, sandalwood-scented Mysore or the spice and surf of Kerala. Along the way drink in and absorb the stylized elegance of Bharata Natyam, the story-telling art of Kathakali or the martial-art grace of Kalaipattu. Lose yourself in the strange and beautiful ruins at Hampi, inhale the scent of eucalyptus from the Nilgiri hill-stations of Ootacamund or Kodaikanal. Feast your eyes on Chinese fishing nets. Or catch a glimpse of France in attractive Puducherry. Finally join the procession of gloriously bedecked elephants or celebrate the sun set and moon rise at the same time on a full moon evening at Kanyakumari - India’s Lands END.
