Travel Photo of the Day: Tranquebar, India

Locally called Thrangambadi, the town of Tranquebar is mostly under the waters of the Bay of Bengal. Of what remains from the past, there is an 8th century temple and a 17th century Danish Fort. Apparently, this is one of the few places where the Danes were able to make a settlement into India. This town on India’s east coast offers bit of an off-beat trail for those of you who are planning a holiday to Pondicherry, Chidambaram and/or Thanjavur.
