Skywatch - Happy New Year

In India, several communities celebrate new year today - the Tamilians, the Bengalis, the Assamese, the Punjabis among others. And tomorrow it will be Visu, celebrated by Malayalees and Mangaloreans among others. Greetings to all . This Friday, we visit an ancient sea side fort - Vattakottai - heart of Naanjil Naadu, near Kanyakumari , built in the 18th century . A view of the sea from the fort..



To see more beautiful skies around the world, visit Skywatch.
