Loved Sai Pallavi in Ramayana? You won't get enough of their ancestral hometown, a dreamy hill station in Tamil Nadu, a paradise for tea lovers
Sai Pallavi has been in the news for her depiction as Mata Sita in the magnum opus Ramayana. The actress, who has won hearts across India with hits such as Premam, Maari 2, etc., has also won appreciation for her dignified performance as Mata Sita. Her hometown, Kotagiri, has also come into the limelight. She hails from the Badaga community, which lives in the Nilgiri district of Tamil Nadu. The hill town also has roots dating back to the colonial period. In 1819, British official John Sullivan explored the area, which subsequently developed into a seasonal getaway for administrators of the Madras Presidency. Today, Kotagiri is renowned for its picturesque surroundings, characterised by expansive tea estates, verdant valleys and stretches of evergreen woodland.
