Lets Start with Cuddalore my home town

A fast growing industrial Hub with a few shopping areas but a lot of new Outlets are in pipeline due to mammoth investment by NOCL 12000 Crores.

There a few famous and old temples, forts, musem, beach, many rivers and few hills.

So let me come to areas where you can visit 

First Silver beach, Tirupapuliyur Shiva Temple, Thiruvandhipuram Temple, Thirumanikuzhi Shiva Temple and many a small temples are present everywhere with few churches dutch period and Mosques of olden centuries.
