Saurashtra Tamil Sangamam
News: There will likely be close to 3,000 attendees during Saurashtra Tamil Sangamam. The festival attempts to highlight the “age-old ties” and cultural linkages between Gujarat and Tamil Nadu, two coastal States.
The Kashi Tamil Sangamam and the Saurashtra Tamil Sangamam are comparable.
The event aims to bring India’s cultural richness and strength to light and to re-connect people with their cultural history and pilgrimage sites.
Several venues in Gujarat, including Somnath, Dwarka, and the Statue of Unity in Kevadia, will host this event.
Invasion between 600 and 1000 years ago drove a large number of people from Saurashtra in Gujarat to migrate and create new settlements in the districts of Tamil Nadu near Madurai, which are today known as Tamil Saurashtrian.
Gujarati-born residents have settled in a number of Tamil Nadu locations, including Tiruchi, Thanjavur, Kumbakonam, and Salem, fostering ties between the two states’ cultures.
