"Tamil is an ancient language, a powerful language, and a very beautiful language. We all know this very well.

On behalf of the Tamil people, I express my heartfelt gratitude to the Hon'ble Prime Minister of India, Thiru. Narendra Modi," RN Ravi said while addressing the gathering.

Ancient Ties Between Kashi and Tamil Nadu Highlighted

"Today is the concluding day of the Kashi Tamil Sangamam 4.0 festival. The Kashi Tamil Sangamam festival began four years ago. It is becoming increasingly popular each year.
