Tamil Nadu is a wonderful tourist place. It has natural beauty i.e.blue beaches and clear
skies. People enjoy the peace amidst the lively and magnificent temples. There
are more than 30,000 temples in Tamil Nadu, which has given the state the
distinctive title of 'A Land of Temples'. Built by various dynasties these
temples bear a superficial resemblance to each other in that they share the same
physical features - the gopuram or the imposing tower over the entrance and the
spacious halls and corridors.  The history of the Tamils
presents an exciting pageant of a powerful civilization whose origin dates back
to ancient times. It is clear that the Tamils, who belong to the Dravidian race,
were the first major occupants of the country and settled in the north-western
part of India long before the coming of the Indo-Aryans. Excavations have
revealed that the features of the people of the Indus Valley Civilization bore a
strong resemblance to this race.
