Women in Tamil Nadu dress very conservatively. Most women wear the traditional saree which is a short blouse, an underskirt, and five meters of fabric wrapped around, pleated, and tucked to make a beautiful dress. On younger women and in the cities you will see punjabis. These outfits consist of a tunic-like shirt that has either short sleeves or long sleeves and goes down to around or below the knees. Loose fitting salwar or tight from the knee down churidar are worn underneath. A scarf should then be place over the shoulders with the ends hanging down the back to cover your chest. If you dress in western clothing, be sure to cover up. Shoulders and knees should never be exposed and its best to wear long, ankle length, skirts. Leave a Comment

 Coconuts by linwei66 Coconuts are aplenty in Tamil Nadu. People like to offer them whenever they have visitors. Although I don't care for the taste, they are sort of sweet and the coconut milk is said to be great for hydration. You'll need extra hydration in southern india during the hotter months!
