Festivals in Tamil Nadu put customs, rituals, and artistic displays on center stage while promoting a sense of community among its people.
Celebrations such as Pongal, the harvest festival, involve cooking special dishes and decorating homes with colorful kolams. Deepavali, the festival of lights, features elaborate fireworks and festive lamps. Temples come alive during processions for festivals like Thaipusam and Navaratri, with traditional music and dance. These festivals reflect Tamil Nadu’s cultural diversity and communal spirit, blending rituals with lively celebrations while inviting visitors to participate in them.

Our three-week trip with our five-year-old son took us first through the tropical south in Kerala and then along the 'Golden Triangle' in the north, including detours to several national parks. This enabled us to get to know two parts of the country that were very different in terms of culture and landscape and to experience at least some of India's diversity. We will always remember the impressions of the lives of the people and nature. Despite the intense experiences, we were able to relax thanks to the accommodations (oasis of peace) that were well-selected by the travel agent. The conversations with our two drivers and the people in the host families were enriching. We hardly came across any Western families. With a little travel experience, however, even small children are no obstacle to traveling to this exciting country.
