Emerald Quilt of Gingee

From the high vantage point of Krishnagiri Hill in the historic Gingee Fort complex, the land below unfolds in a perfect patchwork of paddy fields. Bright greens meet deeper shades, framed by coconut palms and dotted with grazing cattle. The winding paths through the crops trace stories of cultivation and care, a timeless rhythm that has played out here for centuries.

 

Shot yesterday during my trip to Gingee, this view was worth every step of the climb , a reminder that some of the most breathtaking landscapes in Tamil Nadu lie just beyond the fortress walls.
