South India- The Land of Beginnings

Book Name in English : South India- The Land of Beginnings

Very often thoughts about India conjure up images of only the Taj Mahal, the desert fortresses of Rajasthan and the teeming Ghats of Varanasi. Think again.
There is another more vibrant India below the Vindhya hills, with it's magnificent dravidian temples, quaint towns, spice-perfumed air, mesmerizing tropical beaches, fascinating network of inland waterways, romantic backwaters, legendary cuisine, hospitality and of course, friendly people, leading a quieter, sweeter way of life.
This is south India, the land of beginning. A quarter of India's population lives here and it is extraordinarily varied in terms of landscape, people, languages and culture from state to state.
