Everything You Need to Know About South India
South India, or Southern India, is a region steeped in a rich tapestry of history, culture, and heritage. It’s a society that has flourished south of the Vindhyas for several thousand years, offering every visitor a unique and fascinating experience. Southern India differs from the North in various aspects, including topography, race, language, weather, cuisine, festivals, and architectural heritage.
Even within South India, you’ll find varied geographical and cultural differences. For instance, Kerala is famous for its backwaters and the verdant greenery of the Western Ghats, but its adjacent state, Tamil Nadu, is dubbed the Land of Temples. While Andra Pradesh is famous for the Eastern Ghats, Karnataka is renowned for its coastal beauty, hill stations, and dense tropical forests.
