Tamil Nadu, State in southern India
Tamil Nadu extends over 130,000 square kilometers across varied landscapes from coastal plains to mountain ranges of the Western Ghats and Eastern Ghats.
The region emerged from ancient Tamil kingdoms of Chola, Chera, and Pandya dynasties, transforming into the Madras Presidency under British rule until 1947.
The Tamil language maintains official status in this state, reflecting the deep linguistic heritage of more than 72 million Tamil-speaking residents.
Chennai, the state capital, functions as the primary transportation hub with extensive rail networks connecting to Madurai, Coimbatore, and other major districts.
The state contains 38 administrative districts, each managing local temples, agricultural zones, and educational institutions through distinct governmental structures.
