Tharangambadi is a small town situated in Tamil Nadu. It is also sometimes known as Trankebar/ Alapur. It is one of the most scenic tourist destinations in Tamil Nadu. The most common tourist attractions here are the Danish Museum, Danish Fort and the Sri Masilamaniswara Temple. One of the major destination is Fort Dansborg was built near the sea in 1620 by Ove Gjedde, a Danish Captain. It had two storeys. The lower one was used as a prison and the upper one was the captain's residence. The fort has been slightly ruined but has been well kept by the officials.
Another locations the Danish Museum has quite a few artefacts to be seen. The Masilamaniswara Temple, due to the effects of the sea is disintegrating and hence, a new temple is being built in its place. This tow is also called “Village of the Dancing Waves” because it is a flood prone area and once a tsunami killed nearly 800 fishermen living here. A 150 year old building has also been converted to a heritage hotel. Therefore, there is no problem of accommodation in this place. This place can be visited all around the year because it is equally beautiful always.
