The Tamil culture, the culture of southern India, is the last surviving classical culture in full working order. Inspired by an Indian astrologer, who tells him - accurately, as it turns out - that he will have two daughters, Michael Wood sets out on a journey around the great religious and historical sites of southern india. It contains moments of grandeur and awe, and humility, in the face of ordinary peasants leading rich cultural lives.
