Tenkasi is my native and my favourate place also.All of them Know Mathalamparai.It is a great place and famous for Cricket team for Younster.I like Sankar and pon venkatash batting.That guys playing very well.In that village People's formulaties is very nice.I think sankar is working in a software company and pnvenkatesh doing one business.
Tenkasi temple is very nice.Then Courttalam also very cute.
Mathalamparai is nearest place of the Old Courttalam and its surrouning lot of falls is there.Because in west side Old courttalam,Main falles,Shenbagadevi falls,Five falls,Tiger falls,Honey falls and in south side Ramanathi Tam is there.
A big pool is there in Mathalamparai.Tirunelveli is the District of Tenkasi.
In 2004, Mathlamparai got a National award of Pure village(Sugathaara kiramam). Our president Isskiammal got the award from Dr.A.B.J.Abdulkalam and with 2 lakhs.
Mathalamparai is great village and number one village in Tirunelveli District.
Because in 2004 that village only got the National Award.

Spectacular!
I see the red and white vertical stripes in the left corner of the photo. Do you know the specific significance of the red and white stripes? I see them everywhere near temples and around tanks.
