Hold your plans of going on a Europe Tour and an African Safari in 2021. Before you begin your exploration of the world, you need to strengthen your mind, body, and soul. By introducing worthy changes to your lifestyle, having healthy food, and knowing about the architectural and spiritual prowess of a great culture, you can sharpen your senses.

But why walk in the same surroundings when you have palatial streets that talk history and luxury in destinations like Chettinad? Why just read about the marvels of temples when you can visit and pray in living temples like Srirangam and Madurai Meenakshi Amman spreading goodness all over the world?
