India's south is a showcase of magnificent monuments and natural hotspots. The southern states consist of Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. The medieval rulers of the period like Pallavas, Cholas, Chalukyas, Nayaks, Kakatiyas and Vijayanagar rulers were deeply religious and constructed numerous big and small temples in the region. The temples they built also carried the stamp of their unique form of architecture. Dotting the southern landscape to this day, they attract devotees in large numbers from all parts of the country and even abroad.
The southern Indian states also boast of a long coastline. Along this vast coastline running into thousands of kilometres are some of India's most picturesque beaches. This combination of great temples and scenic beaches makes India's south a favoured holiday destination of many tourists.
