TAMILIAN TREASURES
Have you seen coastal India? Have you spent sometime there? If your answer is ‘Yes’, then you know what an experience it is. If your answer is ‘No’ then it is time to head for the coast.
The sea, the coast, the sand, the waves, the roaring sound, all combine together in a harmonics blend, transform the atmosphere, as though , you are in a dream world. Each segment of the day, be it day or night, has in store a different but pleasant experience.
Early morning’s twilight and cool breeze and warm waters will tempt you to bathe. Late morning, rising sun on the horizon of the distant seawill allure you to sun bathe. The unceasing rhythmic roaring sound of the noon waves will sing a lullaby and gently lull you to a slumber under the shade of a tree. The evenings are for enjoyable strolling. The whole night, the sea breeze will cradle you to a sound sleep.
Tamil Nadu has a long coastline of about one thousand kilometres. All along the coast there are tourist attractions. The Pulicat Lake about 36 kilometres north of Madras, Muttukadu 32 kilometres south of Madras, Marakkanam 118 kilometres from Madras and 22 kilometres north of Pondicheffy,.Pondicharry, Cuddalore, Pichavaram 16 kilometres north of Chidambaram, Poompuhar, Tharangambadi, Nagore, Velanganni, Vedaranyam, Rameswaram, Tiruchendur and Kanyakumari are coastal attractions of Tamil Nadu. Each centre is different from the other and has its own attraction.
Pulicat is ideal for boating. Muttukadu with its vast expanse of waterspread is a unique location for different types of watersports. Already we have pleasure boating and surfing facilities here. I Marakkanam backwaters is again ideal for watersports. Yet to be exploited. Pondicherry backwaters provide boating facilities. The backwaters at Cuddalore combined with a quiet beach offers immense potential for developement of watersports and beach oriented tourism activities.
Mamallapuram 60 kilometres south of Madras is a beach resort and monuments complex. It is one of the World Heritage monuments. The Tamil Nadu Tourism Development Corporation and India Tourism Development Corporation have Beach Resort hotels here. There are also a few private beach resorts. The monuments here are of Pallava origin dating back from the 7th century to the 9th century. Different types otanftwcture can, be seen here. Between and Marrallapsam at Veda Nernmell is the Crocodile Bank.where a large variety of crocodde species can be be”.
Pichavaram near Chidambaram is a unique and rare combination of mangrove forest and backwaters. The backwaters here criss-cross forming, hundreds of islands of breathtaking beauty. It is emery important region of delicate ecological balance contrived by nature. Marine life thrives here in a peculiar balance of nature. BirdLife also abounds here. There is the Arignar Anna Tourist Complex here. The complex is intended to provide basic amenities to visiting research scholars, students and tourists. While providing this facility, care has been taken 10 see that no activities are allowed ‘Which will adversely affect the fragile ecology of the place. No drainage or garbage or refuse is allowed in the backwaters. No mechanized boats are allowed. Nor wilt further development be allowed which will be beyond the carrying capacity of the place. Further beyond, at the Poompuhar Tourist Complex, the ancient glory of the Chola’s Port city of Kavedpoompatfinam has been recreates. It Is the place where the river Cauvery meets the Bay of Bengal. Daily, hundreds of excur- sionists and tourists visit the place.
South of Poompuhar is the Old Danish settlement of Tranquebar known for a fine beach and Danish monuments. It has been identified as a special Tourism Area. External Assistance from the Danish Government is being sought for its development. Vedaranyam in Nagapattinam Quaid-e-Milleth District is an important Wildlife Sanctuary of Tamil Nadu known for a variety of flora and fauna. The place also happens to be the home of water birds from far and near.
Tiruchendur is known for the Temple dedicated to Lord Muruga and is one of the six houses of the Lord on the seashore attracting pilgrims daily in large numbers.
Though it is an unending voyage of exploration of the coastal stretch of Tamil Nadu, I am cutting it short by concluding with Kanyakumari the Land’s End of India, a beach of myriad colours, a place of pilgrimage and a place of monument complex. Here also the T.T.D.C. has its Hotel Tamil Nadu.
