Hi Ellis... There is a Street called "Ellis Nagar" in Madurai on the memorial of Governor Ellis ( British). He did a great effort to print and learn tamil literature called "Thirukkural". He released a gold coin for Thiruvalluvar who wrote thirukkural. Madurai love towards Ellis never ends❤
Yes.. Collector Ellis serves Tamil ❤❤❤ particularly the famous ancient tamil ethical book "Thirukkural" had printed in paper from palm leaf (volai suvadi).
The bridge you guys travelled on bus to cross the river @3:34 is an 138 year old one. Known as "Albert Victor or A.V. bridge" was constructed during the british reign. It connects river vaigai's north & south banks.
It was absolutely delightful to talk with you guys ( I'm the girl in the video at 57:00), taking the city bus gives you a very good chance to see the local side of Madurai and I'm extremely happy you had a nice experience!
3500+ years ago was Lord Krishna's time. 7000+ years ago was Lord Shiva's time. Those years, no temples yet. Meditation of Tantra Yoga was the practice.
Don't forget to visit keezhadi and kineemagalam village ancient site..! And Thanjavur district, Big Siva temple. 2000 yrs old dam it's name called Kallanai. Chithambaram temple , many more towards South

Some etiquette for eating in banana leaf. 1.always sprinkle and wipe before eating. 2.the pointy side of leaf should be always towards your left. 3. Side dishes are served on the top portion ans main dishes on the bottom portion. 4.side dishes they served here are salt, gooseberry pickle, cabbage poriyal- sauted veg, some sort of aviyal - steames vegetables, kootu - veg with lentil and coconut, vada, papadam- a rice crisp, mor melagai. 4. The main dishes served here are rice, nei paruppu-lentil with ghee, sambar, rasam- soupy dish with tamarind, cumin and pepper. Curd. Usually theyre eaten in this order sambar, vatha/puli kulambu ( a thick sour dish with dry/fresh veg), butter or curd, finally rasam and then dessert. 5. After the meal you fold your leaf towards you if you liked the meal, away from you if yourenot satisfied. 6. Salt and pickle are always served first. 7. You can mix and match anything but never mix bread and rice.
I love the follower in the comments with the instructions on how to eat the banana leaf dish.... very interesting and useful info. This looks like a more sustainable environment from the sensory overload of Chennai :) love exploring the side streets, local markets, and everyone is so friendly. Even though we aren't going to the east coast your videos are getting us excited about our trip. I absolutely love the contrast of bold colours, stark white skirts against the dusty grit of the environment. Would be great to get into the green of nature there.

It can aid in weight management, support bone health, and help regulate blood sugar levels due to its low glycemic index.

Just recommend your videos .I watched your whole indian trip, you guys are so respectable in all peoples and Tamilnadu each district have some specialities and if you come Pudukkottai District i can be help you ! Keep continue trip ❤
Just so that you'll know, all the government buses in Tamilnadu are beaten up because they run at avery cheap price (most of them are free for women) to help the poor who use them on a daily basis, hence not a lot of features for comfort but does the job! Really great videos, hope you're liking our beautiful Tamil Nadu
Madurai is my hometown, i have been away from there since 2015, hoping to go back and live there soon with my mum. Seeing this video virtually took me there. thanks to u guys. Love u.
You guys are just 5 km away from my house, happy to see you both having a pleasant time here in my town, have a great journey ahead, stay safe have fun❤️
That was an absolutely fantastic video about our dear city Madurai. Thank you very much for this fair, authentic and objective , with all it's pros and cons. Madurai cities people are indeed warm, welcoming and friendly , which you have credited it with. But for the ubiquitous herds of cows, the choking traffic and quite awful city roads , our Madurai never fails to interest it's dwellers as well as visitors. Profound thanks to you guys for this interesting video, please.
Thanks so much really appreciate you watching. We do like your city a lot, through the good and the bad! Nowhere is perfect, but Madurai is a nice place
Hey man👋 I've been following you guys for a couple of days. I'm from madurai and this one made me happy as lot of youtubers go to Chennai and don't show anyother cities in tamilnadu. tip: try to explore hidden spots if possible
I was a Madurai Resident for the last 5 years. Even though, its not my native city. I just love Madurai like all Native Maduraikkaarans. Its a fantastic place with awesome people. I am glad that you made a video on this historic, fantastic and beautiful city❤.
Madurai has some of the best food in south India. I love this city and its vibe. I am from Chennai. So, whenever I am in Madurai for any reason, I just spend a lot of time eating the amazing food. 😋
Thank you for visiting India especially our state Tamilnadu..... 'Vanakkam Nanba' Thanks for exploring our people, food, culture, streets,bus.etc Note: in this video @ first bus they charged you Rs.7/- you know why, it's free for ladies (free ticket) in government bus....that's Tamilnadu for you❤❤❤😊 keep rocking and explore more, I'm subscribed 🎉
order of eat first ghee rice, side dish vegetables, second Rasam rice then, sweet, Third curd rice add to lime pickle...Side dish appalam, vada...Tamil Nadu people format eating method....
Its so happy that you guys visited our city and we are Happy to welcome you guy's, still lot of place you can explore in our city wish you a joyfully trip ahead ❤❤
Indeed undoubtedly it is the most friendliest people you will ever see in India… where you have the oldest civilisation of the world and they believe “Every life on earth are your friends and family” that you can literally get in any of the houses there and ask for help and stay there…! Which I hardly find that love and affection if I come out of that district, and it will be greatly reduced when you come out of the southern states, and you no where find it if you go out of India! ♥️
Great upload guys! The last city were in was a bit too full on for me but this city seems a touch more laid back and the people are really friendly. Really nice place!
Hi Ellis and Alicia another great vlog showing the real side if life . Headed to Thailand 🇹🇭 in 3 days ,going try and find some of the great food you have recommended. Thanks for the shout out to Tasmania.
Welcome to Tamil Nadu... We proud to say that we treat every people as our family and living with secularism. Here every people live with harmony.... thanks to leaders like aringar Anna, periyar and kamarajar....

You guys are such a great couple. I love all your videos. It's so heart warming to see you enjoy the simplicity of life which you can truly find in only a few countries in this world in today's day and age. I'm really glad you found love in India as a destination - this is rich culture embedded in one of the most ancient and greatest civilizations, so much that it shows from its people. India loves you too!!
Thanks for the nice words 🙏 We genuinely loved our time here and we are simple people. We will never forget, one day will return and explore more. Have a wonderful weekend 🙏

@@manojitkarak3928 Kashi is destination but not old very big temples like TN temples ellora caves etc. All temples destroyed in north by looters rapists and invaders. Just small set up temples now and new one like ayodhya.
I am very happy that you both visited south part of India I am from Telangana state and ur eating like true Indian with hands so happy for it even in some areas struggling with language but ur trying to understand I am very happy of it once visit Hyderabad City also which is in Telangana
Hi Elis n Alisa, how are we? Nice video and I reckon madurai much nicer than Chennai. More clean n less chaos...seem both of you love visit worship places, if you never been to Siem Reap, Cambodia, I suggest you to visit there. They have many massive and old temple.
At 1:05 you met with one coimbatore guy, actually my city also coimbatore, there are lot of places available for visiting and also a 2nd largest developing city(economy) in Tamil Nadu as well...
How to eat meals. 1. Start with rice and daal(taste daal and add salt if needed. probably salt is less in daal) 2. Next sambar with rice(can be mixed with daal as well if you like). While eating sambar you can mix some vegatable or vada as sidedish with it. Also take a bite of cracker. 3. Next Rasam with rice(looks like spice water or soup). Take a bite of cracker or any side dish. You mixed rasam and curd and thats not how we eat 4. Next curd with rice (add salt to the curd rice and taste it) (While eating curd rice take a bite of dried chilli or sidedish or pickle(you asked them what is it. It was amla pickle) 5. Last sweet

Amazing stuff then thanks for explaining
That's how we take care of our guests. proud of you guys.🥰. Wecome to India
Amazing hospitality
Just recommend your videos .I watched your whole indian trip, you guys are so respectable in all peoples and Tamilnadu each district have some specialities and if you come Pudukkottai District i can be help you ! Keep continue trip ❤
Thanks so much for the kind words have an amazing day 🙏🙏
@@EllisWR Thankyou stay happy and safe❣️❤️
Just so that you'll know, all the government buses in Tamilnadu are beaten up because they run at avery cheap price (most of them are free for women) to help the poor who use them on a daily basis, hence not a lot of features for comfort but does the job! Really great videos, hope you're liking our beautiful Tamil Nadu
Yeah everything is great! We like the buses and use them alllll the time!
There are good buses too but that's limited in Madurai.
Even other South districts had many good buses than Madurai.
Madurai is my hometown, i have been away from there since 2015, hoping to go back and live there soon with my mum. Seeing this video virtually took me there. thanks to u guys. Love u.
Lots of love from Salem, Tamilnadu❤
Hey! ❤️🙏🇮🇳
Divi7433 you should not tell Salem, you should tell that steel city, Mango city Salem, Tamil Nadu.
You guys are just 5 km away from my house, happy to see you both having a pleasant time here in my town, have a great journey ahead, stay safe have fun❤️
Amazing place
500meters from my home😂🙌
Why you are not go to temple

@@EllisWR anna go to kanyakumari
That was an absolutely fantastic video about our dear city Madurai. Thank you very much for this fair, authentic and objective , with all it's pros and cons. Madurai cities people are indeed warm, welcoming and friendly , which you have credited it with. But for the ubiquitous herds of cows, the choking traffic and quite awful city roads , our Madurai never fails to interest it's dwellers as well as visitors.
Profound thanks to you guys for this interesting video, please.
Thanks so much really appreciate you watching. We do like your city a lot, through the good and the bad! Nowhere is perfect, but Madurai is a nice place
As an north indian our South brothers are very lovely ❤🇮🇳😌i have many South friends 😍
In All the videos you have the food from best places. Delighting to watch Banana leaf southern food.
Hey man👋 I've been following you guys for a couple of days. I'm from madurai and this one made me happy as lot of youtubers go to Chennai and don't show anyother cities in tamilnadu. tip: try to explore hidden spots if possible
Will try to show more thanks so much
Hey Ellis, hoping you have a great INDIA tour. The gentleman who walked you to the Meenakshi temple was genuinely kind, and so are you two.
Cheers! 👍
He was lovely
The way you carry yourself is also commendable. Keep growing! 👍🏼
I was a Madurai Resident for the last 5 years. Even though, its not my native city. I just love Madurai like all Native Maduraikkaarans. Its a fantastic place with awesome people. I am glad that you made a video on this historic, fantastic and beautiful city❤.
Vazhga valamudan....
Wonderful work! Congrats Ellis!
Thanks so much!!!
Madurai has some of the best food in south India. I love this city and its vibe. I am from Chennai. So, whenever I am in Madurai for any reason, I just spend a lot of time eating the amazing food. 😋
It's great isn't it!!
I went to Madurai in July last year on a solo trip.. I loved it for 3 reasons. The people, food and the culture.
Great place!!
also try vengaya vatha kuzhambu, thengai sadam, manga pachadi, pallipalayam chicken fry, pollachi nandu fry, meen kuzhambu, ruali roast, pomfret fish fry, chicken roll,
Thanks for all the recommendations!!
So cool to see these adventures in India

I am from Thanjavur- Tamilnadu Recently Addicted to your vlogs
Thanks so much we really appreciate it
Come To Thanjavur and Visit Big Temple Must
Seriously that staff was so good... Their explanation is ncee
Vazgha valamudan was super ❤
Another cracking video, the people seem so friendly. Thanking you both. Take care.❤
People are really genuine here it's a nice place to be
My native place is madurai there is lot of food special parotta,jigardhanda drink, seeraga samba biriyani, etc.. and lot of temple is there ❤
Yes it's an amazing place
Its so happy that you guys visited our city and we are Happy to welcome you guy's, still lot of place you can explore in our city wish you a joyfully trip ahead ❤❤
We loved it ❤️
Indeed undoubtedly it is the most friendliest people you will ever see in India… where you have the oldest civilisation of the world and they believe “Every life on earth are your friends and family” that you can literally get in any of the houses there and ask for help and stay there…! Which I hardly find that love and affection if I come out of that district, and it will be greatly reduced when you come out of the southern states, and you no where find it if you go out of India! ♥️
Vaalga valamudan 👐
Great upload guys! The last city were in was a bit too full on for me but this city seems a touch more laid back and the people are really friendly. Really nice place!
Alot better here man, then smaller city's even better. Still a bit mad though
it's not South India's Friendliest City. it's India's Friendliest City
Is it?
yes brother well said! we Tamils are very patriotic ignore the hate spread by few politicians!
@@animystic4223 tamils are most polite not like delhi people
Well said.
Thank you ellis you are exploring our country... thanks again love you both❤ love from madurai people ❤🎉
Thanks so much ❤️
No doubt people from Tamil Nadu are smart yet very humble❤
🙏

Legend thanks so much!!
Hi Ellis and Alicia another great vlog showing the real side if life . Headed to Thailand 🇹🇭 in 3 days ,going try and find some of the great food you have recommended. Thanks for the shout out to Tasmania.
Hey mate! I'm jealous, have a fantastic time over there. Any questions don't hesitate to fire em over! Sure you'll love it!
Welcome to Tamil Nadu... We proud to say that we treat every people as our family and living with secularism. Here every people live with harmony.... thanks to leaders like aringar Anna, periyar and kamarajar....
People here are fantastic
@@EllisWR- Modi is leader of global south and a real people leader ruling India in most democratic way. India in safe hands of Modi and no vested western media can defame him, however hard they trying to be. India is unstoppable under Modi.
Don’t bullshit . He i@@impartial7590
But he is not the leader of Tamil nadu.. he lost elections here continuously 😂@@impartial7590
Shut the f**kup and get out from South India you sangi ram ram vadakan modi done nothing in south india @@impartial7590
Good to see ur amalgamation with Indian culture. Enjoy ur food
🙏🙏🙏
You guys are such a great couple. I love all your videos. It's so heart warming to see you enjoy the simplicity of life which you can truly find in only a few countries in this world in today's day and age. I'm really glad you found love in India as a destination - this is rich culture embedded in one of the most ancient and greatest civilizations, so much that it shows from its people. India loves you too!!
Thanks for the nice words 🙏 We genuinely loved our time here and we are simple people. We will never forget, one day will return and explore more. Have a wonderful weekend 🙏
Excellent video guys 👌🏼 showing real everyday scenes
Jigar thanda literally means after drinking it your heart will feel the calm , like u feel after taking a dip in water on a hot day ( jigar = heart & thanda = cold or cool )
Thanks for explaining!
Wow.. The man at the start of the video made my day ❤
He made our day such a kind gentleman
That uncle so sweet showing temple ❤
Very good hospitality
Madurai , Hampi are temple towns of South India.
Bhubaneswar, Puri are temple towns in East india.
Kashi, Ayodhya are temple towns in North.
Dwaraka, Somnath are temple towns in West.
These are places where you would experience real culture of country, not in Delhi or Mumbai.
North not big old ancient Great temples. West ajantha Ellora south tanjavur temple trichy temple
You forgot the biggest temple pilgrimage of India - Tirupati. Lol
True🙏
@@keralanaturelover196kashi vishwanath???? Ar u joking???
@@manojitkarak3928 Kashi is destination but not old very big temples like TN temples ellora caves etc. All temples destroyed in north by looters rapists and invaders. Just small set up temples now and new one like ayodhya.
wow อาหารน่าทานมาก เป็นสิ่งใหม่ที่ไม่เคยลิ้มลอง
Yes it's really delicious!
Great place, fantastic culture, amazing people. Best place to visit
Too right
I am very happy that you both visited south part of India I am from Telangana state and ur eating like true Indian with hands so happy for it even in some areas struggling with language but ur trying to understand I am very happy of it once visit Hyderabad City also which is in Telangana
Southern india are knowledgeable people and literate too . Most of them are spoke English. Indias financial contribution is high in south india
They are the best
Speaking English doesn't mean knowledgeable. If you have respect towards foreigners and treat them well, it is knowledgeable.
@santhoshs9810 insecure for foreign women's
@@DeepakRaj-fm1xjNot like that. Change the mind set. It is also in India. Not in Pakistan. Culture may differ.
Amazing video ❤, you guys were calm and i loved how you guys knew which bus to take and enjoyed the trip 😊
Thanks so much!!🙏
Thank you for exploring Tamilnadu and Tamil culture to the world brother. Tamil people always friendly....❤
Hi Elis n Alisa, how are we? Nice video and I reckon madurai much nicer than Chennai. More clean n less chaos...seem both of you love visit worship places, if you never been to Siem Reap, Cambodia, I suggest you to visit there. They have many massive and old temple.
Madurai so much nicer. We visit siem reap when kids!!
At 1:05 you met with one coimbatore guy, actually my city also coimbatore, there are lot of places available for visiting and also a 2nd largest developing city(economy) in Tamil Nadu as well...
Maybe visit soon
♥️..! நன்றி
The snack u had in the bus is Ragi Puttu. Its made out of Ragi flour. It should be consumed within 6 hours if raw coconut is added.
Woops!!
Its amazing to see you roaming around Madurai Without any guide.. 😮
No guide anywhere we wanna explore!
How to eat meals. 1. Start with rice and daal(taste daal and add salt if needed. probably salt is less in daal) 2. Next sambar with rice(can be mixed with daal as well if you like). While eating sambar you can mix some vegatable or vada as sidedish with it. Also take a bite of cracker. 3. Next Rasam with rice(looks like spice water or soup). Take a bite of cracker or any side dish. You mixed rasam and curd and thats not how we eat 4. Next curd with rice (add salt to the curd rice and taste it) (While eating curd rice take a bite of dried chilli or sidedish or pickle(you asked them what is it. It was amla pickle) 5. Last sweet
Thanks for exploreing our Tamilnadu in India. We proud indian...
Indians are generally friendly and welcome foreigners wholeheartedly , this is our heritage.
