Press Release Body: Goa, the earlier hippie cooperative on India’s west coast, is
often cited as the sizzling spot for travelers seeking religious explanation and
all-night beach parties. Kerala, about 400 miles south of Goa along India’s
southwestern tip, is promising as a quieter option with its long shorelines,
extensive plantations and comforting spas that concentrate in the healing practice
of ayurveda, the conventional Hindu medicine of India. “As the health resort
business globally has exploded, Kerala as the hub of this treatment method has been
able to take advantage of that,” .There is dozens of ayurvedic spas and health
centers to desire from. One of the newest is at the Kovalam Beach hotel, which
opened an 8,000-square-foot spa ayurvedic wellness center last year called Divya
with 18 therapists, 4 physicians trained in ayurvedic medicine and an open-air
meditation hall.So far, foreigners compose up a small tiny proportion of the
visitors to Kerala. For example, 515,808 foreign tourists visited Kerala last year,
compared with domestic tourists. Certainly, Western tour companies have in progress
adding Kerala to their standard India itineraries. “Kerala is an up-and-coming
destination but still comparatively unknown.

The Indian state of Tamil Nadu is the greatest place to admire South Indian temple
structural design. The most well-known South Indian temples include the Meenakshi
temple in Madurai, the Hindu pilgrim destination of Rameswharam, and the wonderful
temples in the holy city of Kanchipuram.
The Meenakshi temple in Madurai is enthusiastic to the Hindu god Shiva and his wife
Parvati, known here as Meenakshi. According to celebrity, Shiva and Meenakshi were
in truth married in Madurai. The large temple complex contains 12 famous gopuras or
towers that are decorated with vibrantly colored sculptures of Hindu deities. The
temple is always busy with pilgrims, tourists, beggars, salesmen and palm readers,
but becomes even busier during temple festivals.Madurai has flight connections to
Chennai and Mumbai, and train and bus connections around South India.

Rameshwaram is a significant pilgrimage destination for Hindus, being the place
where the Hindu gods Rama build a connection across the sea to liberate his beloved
Sita from her malevolence abductor, Ravana. The Ramnathswamy temple dates back to
the 17th century and are an example of Dravidian temple planning as well as one of
the holiest of India's Hindu temples.
It is filled with magnificent temples, most of them dedicated to the gods Shiva or
Vishnu, although the goddess Shakti is also worshipped in the Kamakshi Amman temple.
One of the main and most ancient - and at the same time almost positively the most
famous temple in Kanchipuram - is the superb Ekambareshwar Temple.

Many of the other temples in Kanchipuram will not let non-Hindus into the deepest
area of the temple, but visitors can still walk around the holy place complex.
Kanchipuram is also famous for its silks and temple visitors can anticipate lots of
invitations to silk shops from rickshaw drivers and touts who hang around temples.
Kanchipuram can be easily reached from Chennai.
