Bien que la photo ne soit pas capable de rendre les jeux de lumières et les mouvements de ce magnifique sari en soie à droite, on devine cependant les délicats motifs floraux en camaïeu de rose/fuchsia rehaussés de fils dorés. Je suis bien incapable de vous dire d’où il vient, mais sachez qu'il y a plus de 70 styles de saris différents en Inde, et au moins 80 façons de les porter.

Tranquebar

We traveled around Tamilnadu for about 14 days road trip it’s was a mesmerizing experience, exploring Dravidian architecture, food and culture. This is Tranquebar, locally known as Tharangambadi, one of my favorite place and we both are ecstatic when we reached in the early morning. The place was residence and headquarters for about 150 years to Dutch East India Company, after 2005 tsunami a Dutch foundation has restored many things.

#FortDansborg, locally called #DanishFort, is a Danish fort located in the shores of #BayOfBengal in #Tranquebar (#Tharangambadi) in the #SouthIndian state of #TamilNadu. #FortDansborg was built in the land ceded by Thanjavur king Ragunatha Nayak in an agreement with Danish Admiral Ove Gjedde in 1620 and acted as the base for Danish settlement in the region during the early 17th century. The fort is the second largest Danish fort after Kronborg. The fort was sold to the British in 1845 and along with Tranquebar, the fort lost its significance as the town was not an active trading post for the British. After India's independence in 1947, the fort was used as an inspection bungalow by the state government till 1978 when the Department of Archaeology, Government of Tamil Nadu took over the control of the fort. The fort is now used as a museum where the major artifacts of the fort and the Danish empire are displayed. https://www.instagram.com/p/CKgZ-aUBue3/?igshid=kspfc9d8xheb
