A series of digs carried out by the Archaeological Survey of India in a little village called Keeladi near Madurai unearthed artefacts dating back at least to the 6th century BCE.

These excavations allow us to take another look at theories of how civilisation began in south India. Was civilisation in south India really not more than 2300 years old? Or were there thriving settlements in these parts much before that time? And how were they linked to the Indus Valley Civilisation?

Join Storytrails for a special live session where we take you through the highlights of one of the most significant archaeological excavations in recent times!

Testimonial

A wonderful view of a side of Chennai and Tamil Nadu which is very present, but usually much more difficult to see.

Prarthana R

Packed with history, stories of successes and failures, interesting facts and looks behind the scenes of this quaint ex French colony! I highly recommend this tour to all visitors.

Isselerhof

Loved this! Forget picking up a guide book, you won’t find any of the ‘true’ history of Trivandrum in there! A must to any visitor to (and inhabitant of!) Trivandrum

Alexia M

Beautiful landscapes, visit of a very interesting temple in a small village, and then we went to a farm, where we have been warmly welcomed.

Enrique Lunique

Great tour and our guide, Kausihk, was well-informed enthusiastic guide and brought the whole place to life. The sense of history, the depth of information we got were impressive.

Kavi

This was a first class tour! We have a British family history in Madras so getting to hear all the stories from the 1780s through independence was fascinating.
