South
India (Kerala, Tamilnadu, Andhra Pradesh)
South India is a place where the Indian heritage
is more intact here than in other regions of the
country as almost untouched by invasions
throughout its history. The states of
Andhrapradesh, Tamilandu, Karnataka and Kerals are
considered South India. Each state has its own
culture, language and food habits. Kerala's
culture called to be a very different than that of
any other state in India. Tirumala
Tirupati Devasthanam (TTD), 2nd richest
temple in the world is a worth visit which is in
Tirupati, Chittoor Dist, Andhra Pradesh.
People enjoy the peace amidst the lively and
magnificent temples. There are more than 30,000
temples I n Tamil Nadu alone, which has given the
state the distinctive title of 'A Land of
Temples'. 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. Places to see in
