South India

The Southern tip of India is known as South India. It is made up of several states and territories. We were in three of these states; Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu.

Each state had similarities and was also unique. Each have their own language which is also similar but different. The tuk tuk styles even varied by area.

Our host in Salem in the state of Tamil Nadu jokingly stated they were the French of India; with their language and culture which is not Hindi and they are not changing. Their language is one of the oldest.

No matter where we were we felt welcome although we did get quite a few extra long looks being big, tall, and having light skin. The people are eager to please and hard working.

My pictures show what is wondrous and different from my perspective but much of India is modern and doesn’t feel so different then what we all experience every day.
