Tamil Nadu

Tamilnadu has a great tradition of heritage and culture that developed over 2,000 years ago and still continues to flourish. This great cultural heritage of the state of Tamilnadu evolved through the rule of dynasties that ruled the state during various phases of history.
Much of the ancient culture of Tamil Nadu is still alive. We have Carnatic music, an Indian classical tradition.
