Tamil Nadu showcases an extensive amalgamation of
diverse culture, tradition and temples. The southernmost state of India is also
prominent for some of the most ancient Hindu temples. The state has always
thrilled us and we thought why not explore the southernmost Indian state on a
crazy bike ride. We started out our journey from the northernmost district
Tiruvallur. When we say the state is synonymous for its temples we are not
exaggerating. Tiruvallur is a temple city and the most famous among them is the
Lord Veeraraghava Temple. After traversing Tiruvallur, we reached yet another
ancient city Kanchipuram. An erstwhile capital of the Pallavas dynasty is
cherished for the Mamallapuram monuments and bygone era temples. The city is
also famous for Kanchipuram silk sarees dotting the famous Gandhi Road. As we
are hurtling down the south on a bike. Green paddy fields, villages encircled
with coconut trees making a picture-perfect moment for a postcard Tamil Nadu Holidays.
We have not even covered half the miles and has already passed through some of
the amazing landscapes. Driving through Villupuram, Cuddalore, Perambalur, and
Tiruchchirappalli we finally reached Madurai. The city is famed for its one of
the most revered Meenakshi Amman temple
Madurai is undoubtedly one of the oldest cities in the world. Famously termed as the "Athens of the East", the name of the city could be found on the works on many great scholars. On our bike, we have extensively explored the city. The town was ruled by some of the great and powerful dynasties of the south. After getting the full dose of Madurai and the revered Meenakshi Amman temple it was again time to hop on the bike and began our amazing journey to the tip of India. I was pretty much sure that this Holiday Trip was going to be my one of the best. Driving through Virudunagar, Tuticorin, Tirunelveli, we finally reached the southernmost part of India known as Kanyakumari. Only the mighty Indian Ocean lies ahead of us. Crowds mostly throng the place to feel the excitement of standing at the tip of the India. Apart the place is famous for Swami Vivekananda's legacy, Virgin Sea Goddess Temple and the 'Land's End'. We all were so amazed at the whole ambience was surreal. Just standing and watching the beautiful sunset in tranquillity was out of the world experience. A great state with beautiful, warm and friendly people. It was my maiden trip on the bike and it could not get so memorable.
