Tamil Nadu Tour:
The history of the Tamils presents an exciting pageant of a powerful civilization whose origins 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 of this race.
The Pallava's ruled betwen the 6th and 8th century AD over a large portion of Tamil Nadu with Kanchipuram as their base. Among the famous temples built by the Pallavas are the temples of Kanchipuram, the Kapaliswarar and Parthasarathy at Madras the magnificent poetry in rock and stone at Mamallapuram (Mahabalipuram). Kanchi has been described extensively by the Chinese traveller Hieun Tsang who visited this city in the middle of the 6th century AD, as a major centre of learning.
