Interesting facts

about Tamilnadu

which makes every

Tamil people to be

proud of their

culture, traditions

and the language...

Tamil Nadu is

often referred to

as 'a land of

temples' and

Tamils are proud

of the religious

traditions and

follow them

strictly. The

Tamils have

been the

greatest of

temple builders

and its rulers

have always

been the patrons

of art and

architecture

including the

Pallavas, Cholas

and the Pandyas.

The World's First

Granite Temple

is the

Brihadeswara

temple at

Tanjavur in

Tamil Nadu. The

shikhara is made

from a single '

80-tonne ' piece

of granite. Also,

this magnificient

temple was built

in just five years,

(between 1004

AD and 1009 AD)

during the reign

of Rajaraja

Chola.

Tamil tradition

dates the oldest

works to several

millennia ago;

the earliest

examples of

Tamil writing we

have today are

in inscriptions

from the 3rd

century BC,

which are

written in an

adapted form of

the Brahmi script

(Mahadevan,

2003).

Archaeological

evidence

obtained from

inscriptions

excavated in

2005 dates the

language to

around 1000 BC.

Tirukkural,

which was

written nearly

two millennia

ago portrays a

universal

outlook. This is

evident as the

author,

Tiruvalluvar,

does not mention

his religion, land,

or the audience

for his work. He

is often

portrayed as a

holy saint of

Tamil Nadu

today.

Carnatic music is

the classical

music form of

Southern India.

This is one of the

world's oldest &

richest musical

traditions.The

Trinity of

Carnatic music

Tyagaraja,

Muthuswami

Dikshitar and

Syama Sastri

were from Tamil

Nadu.

Bharatanatyam

is a classical

dance form

originating from

Tamil Nadu.

Bharatanatyam

is thought to

have been

created by

Bharata Muni, a

Hindu sage, who

wrote the Natya

Shastra, the

most important

ancient treatise

on classical

Indian dance. In

ancient times it

was performed

in Hindu temples

by Devadasis. In

this form, it as

also been called

sadir or chinna

melam.

Marina Beach

(which is in

tamilnadu) is the

second longest

beach in the

world, after

Copacabana

Beach in Rio de

Janeiro.

Tamil is the first

Indian Language

to attain

Classical

Language Status.

Isn't it

Interesting?

To qualify as a

classical tradition, a

language must fit

several criteria: it

should be ancient, it

should be an

independent

tradition that arose

mostly on its own

and not as an

offshoot of another

tradition, and it must

have a large and

extremely rich body

of ancient literature.

Unlike the other

modern languages of

India, Tamil meets

each of these

requirements. It is

extremely old (as

old as Latin and

older than Arabic); it

arose as an entirely

independent

tradition, with almost

no influence from

Sanskrit or other

languages; and its

ancient literature is

indescribably vast

and rich
