Chettinad Travel Guide: Mansions and Tamil Nadu's Fiercest Cuisine

Chettinad is a landscape of grand merchant mansions inland from the Tamil Nadu coast, home to the state's most celebrated and fieriest cooking. It breaks up a temple trail with heritage mansion stays and a distinctive cuisine. A night is typical, usually between the Chola heartland and Madurai, and November to March is the season; April to June is intensely hot.
