Thousands of Temples with soaring towers dot the skyline of the southern state of Tamil Nadu in India. TheseTemples are landmarks of the celebrated heritage of the Tamil speaking people, and are repositories of the magnificent art forms that developed over several centuries. Quite a lot of these Temples have been glorified by the ancient Tamil hymns of the 1st millennium. The Tamils had been the greatest of Temple builders. Temples from the pre-Christian era as well as those from the 20th century survive in this state, where the olden rulers had made outstanding contributions to the development of these Temples of great artistic value. read more
