Tamil Nadu

The terrain of Tamil Nadu ranges from the forested Western Ghats in the west to the low coastal plains beside the Bay of Bengal in the east, creating a state of sharply varied climates and farming regions. The Kaveri flows across central and eastern districts, feeding the fertile delta around Thanjavur before reaching the sea. In this riverine heartland, Thanjavur’s Brihadisvara Temple, built by the Chola ruler Rajaraja I in the early 11th century, stands as a defining monument of Dravidian architecture. Tamil language, Carnatic music and Bharatanatyam are integral to the state’s cultural life. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Tamil Nadu.
