A view of a flooded rice field near Senchi, Tamil Nadu. Senchi (or Gingee as it was known during the colonial period) is an old town. Historically, Senchi was the capital of the kingdom of Desingh Raja. Today, you can still see the forts that stand atop two hills. The palaces and various other structures are very interesting to say the least, and if you manage to climb to the top of the hill housing the King's Durbar, you will be delighted by the amazing view. Best time to visit this place is in the winter months of Nov-Jan.
