Cholas used the land of Tamil Nadu for farming of rice, the land was fertile due to Kaveri river and they properly used the fertile land.
Do you know Tamil Nadu grows more than 27 type of rice .
It is said that first rice was grown in china around 4000 years ago. About Farming of rice in India can be found in Yajur Veda .

Do you know? In Tamil Nadu, temple is called Kovil and it mixture of two words, ‘ko’ which means king and ‘ilam’ means house. So in Tamil Nadu the temples were considered as house of king.

Puddukottai is an important place of Tamil Nadu which has gone through many cultural changes. The area is dry so like Rajasthani people they also dry the vegetables and make pickles .
