Tharangambadi trip...

Tharangambadi also known earlier as Sadangampadi is an important town in the history of Indian Christian Mission. The Danish East Indian company had set its first foot here.
The Danish fort was built in 1620 by Col. Ove Gjedde with the permission of the Tanjore king Ragunatha Nayakkan.
