Therukoothu is a vanishing art form in Tamil culture; it is important to remember both the art and the artist.

Piranmalai is a splendid hill at a height of around 2000 feet; the view from here is breathtaking. Previously, it was ruled by the famous Paari Vallal. The hill is ideal for adventure tourists who want to go hiking. Apart from being a popular hiking destination, it is also spiritually significant. Atop the hill sits a dargah of Waliullah Sheikh Abdullah Shaheb, and halfway down the hill is the Kodunkundreeswar Structure, a three-tiered temple representing the nether realm, Earth, and sky. All of these factors combine to make the hill a must-see getaway.

Before we head to church, here's a glimpse of history. Chennai was one of the British East India Company's first forays into India. Later, in 1644, Fort St. George was constructed, and within the fort lies St. Mary's Church, revered by millions. It was constructed between 1678 - 1680AD. It was also known as the "Westminster Abbey of the East". It was one of Chennai's oldest structures and Asia's first Anglican Church. It was bomb proofed and is said to have been built on the Virgin Mary's Annunciation Day, which is one of its significance. It has imported empty burial stones, while the tower sanctuary, spire, and vestry were added later. It has lovely interiors that are worth seeing.

When we think about deserts in India, only the Thar comes to mind. But, like the Thar, there is something distinctive about South India. It's the Theri Desert, a small desert in Tamil Nadu's Thoothukudi district near Thiruchendur made mostly of red dunes named Theri. A petrographical study in this area indicated the existence of heavy and light minerals such as ilmenite, magnetite, rutile, garnet, zircon, and others. It is thought that the iron-rich heavy minerals on this surface were leached by surface water and oxidised owing to the semi-arid climatic conditions in this area, resulting in the formation of the red dunes.
When you're headed to Thoothukudi to take stunning images with your team, don't forget to include this on your list.

Here's a museum in Chennai that few people know about: The Madras High Court's museum. It is located on the campus of the court. It is open every day from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., except on Fridays and Sundays. Admission is free. On the 125th anniversary of the court, the museum was opened last year. Life-size replicas of 18th-century judges and governors welcome visitors. Following that is a sequence of wall hangings honouring the Madras High Court's history. True charters were preserved. The museum's main attraction is a replica of the courtroom. The furniture dates from the 1890s and has all been refinished and lacquered. The museum keeps a lot of historical artefacts that teach students and people in general about law and history.
