Thanjavur Marathi:

Tanjore Marathi 🗣️ or Thanjavur Marathi is spoken by Thanjavur Maharashtrians who migrated in the central and northern parts of the Indian state of Tamil Nadu 🇮🇳, along with Shivaji's half-brother Venkoji, to the areas surrounding the city of Thanjavur in Tamil Nadu.

The sari draped with immense significance in the traditional clothing for women in Tamil Nadu. 💃 The popular Tamil poetry Cilappatikaram even portrays females in a sari.
📜 It's a versatile dress women wear everywhere – offices 🏢, temples 🕉️, parties 🎉, and marriages 💒.
South Indian saris are renowned across India for their intricate zari work. ✨ The Kancheepuram sari is especially well-known for its exquisite style. 🤩 Its colour, texture, and style are quite distinct from North Indian saris.
The length of a sari usually ranges from five to six yards. 📏

The traditional dress of Tamil men is as elegant as the dress of women.

🤩 Lungi 🩲 is the most common bottom-wear for men in Tamil Nadu. It's wrapped around the waist and thighs.

Lungi comes in different colors and is the traditional dress worn by men in marriages too.

🤵 This rectangular cloth is generally made with cotton 🌿 and is mostly worn with a shirt 👕 or Angavastram draped over it.

Angavastram is another significant part of Tamil dressing, a piece of cloth wrapped around the shoulders.

In earlier days, Angavastram was used as upper clothing, but now it's typically worn over a shirt. ✨

The traditional dressing of men and women in Tamil Nadu is incomplete without gold jewellery like necklaces цепочка, chains 🔗, payals anklet, bangles 镯, maang-tika and earrings 👂.

Tamilians love gold 🪙 and are known to possess great amounts of gold jewellery. Apart from jewellery, women in Tamil Nadu love to decorate their hair with flower garlands 💐, known as Gajras.

Uttapam is a dish very similar to the dosa 🥞 and is a specialty of Tamil Nadu food. It's made by grinding urad dal and rice powder together. 🍚

This mixture is then allowed to ferment for a few hours and slow-fried over very minimal oil on a skillet. 🍳

Uttapam is flat and crispy at the sides, just like a dosa, but soft and doughy in the middle, like an Idli. The uttapam is then given a little topping of tomatoes 🍅, onions 🧅, capsicum 🫑, etc.

It tastes delicious with either coconut chutney 🥥 or Sambar, however, I'd recommend the coconut chutney. You can also try it with the spicy tomato and chili chutney 🌶️ which tastes quite heavenly. 😇

Tamil Nadu food surprises! 🤩 Banana Bonda is a delicious treat.

It tastes as good as it looks! 😋
I know you've all seen and eaten bondas, but this one has a different stuffing, though it's cooked the same way.

Instead of potato and other veggies, it's stuffed with banana 🍌 and then fried in oil. Contrasting the usual spicy bonda, this is sweet 🍯 and eaten as a snack with tea. ☕ Tamil Nadu food never ceases to amaze! ✨

Rasam is my personal favourite! 😋 Tamarind forms the base of this soup-like dish, and added to it are tomatoes 🍅, pepper, and cumin seeds.

The rasam is almost a pre-meal appetizer, which is light and doesn't fill you up too much before a meal.

The rasam is a famous dish that is poured over rice 🍚 like a normal curry. Though it is almost colourless, it has a burst of flavour.

You can also drink it as you would a soup 🥣. It is good for a sore throat too! 🤧
