Chettinad
Chettinad is the mansion and cuisine belt of southern Tamil Nadu, with Karaikudi as its main town hub. Travelers come for Athangudi tiles, courtyard houses, and heritage stays in Kanadukathan and surrounding villages, not just a single municipal label. The region is famous for peppery Chettinad curries, antique markets, and temple towns scattered across Sivaganga and Pudukkottai districts. A short circuit covers mansions, tile workshops, and family-run kitchens that define the Nagarathar legacy. Chettinad rewards slow itineraries built around food, architecture, and village roads rather than one crowded viewpoint.
