Culture and tradition of Tamilnadu 

Tamil Nadu is a southern Indian state that is incredibly rich in heritage and culture. The people of Tamil Nadu are members of the distinguished Dravidian Family, one of the world's oldest civilisations. Like other South Indians, Tamils take great pride in their deeply ingrained culture and work hard to preserve their two thousand year old past. The Cholas, Pandyas, and Pallavas dominated the state, and it has prospered ever since. They produced the art and architecture that is still in use and upkeep today.

Religion 

When it comes to defining a person's identity, their religion is given a lot of weight. Although Hindus make up about half of the state's population, the remainder practise Islam, Christianity, and Jainism. Their ceremonies include the worship of deities as well as animisms like the veneration of trees, animals, stars, and planets. Many Hindus are devotees of various religious organisations known as "Matha," which serve as monastic learning hubs.

Tamil cuisine 

Idli, Dosa, Sambhar, Vada, Upma, and more dishes come to mind when you think of "South Indian food." For North Indians, it is a classic Madrasi dish. Both vegetarian and non-vegetarian settings enjoy Tamil cuisine. Otherwise, the basic components of Tamil cuisine include rice, lentils, cereals, and vegetables. Here, rice is a common food. Almost everything is served with sambhar and coconut chutney, and guess what? Most of them go well together. Fish, turtle, mutton, and venison are preferred among non-vegetarians. Even now, some Tamilians continue the custom of dining on banana leaves.

Art and architecture 

In Tamil Nadu, a kolam (also known as a rangoli) is painted on each home's door. It is meant to be drawn before dawn to welcome Goddess Laxmi. Also among North Indians, this has grown to be incredibly popular.

Over the years, Tamilians have mastered the arts of spinning, weaving, and chiselling, and their talent is evident in a variety of artistic mediums such as bronzes, sculptor works, carvings, etc. Beautiful temples with high "gopurams" and goddess sculptures carved all over the structure reflect Tamil architecture. This area is home to numerous well-known temples, including the Meenakshi Amman Temple and the Breehadeeshwara Temple, which present an expansive view of Tamil heritage and the diversity of old Hindu mythology.

It is not surprising to discover such splendour in the state's architecture, literature, and traditions given its rich history of powerful dynasties and kings. Tamil Nadu's inhabitants have a significant legacy to uphold. Over the years, they have protected the culture and customs, which are still very much alive today.
