This has been documented in earlier Tamil Sangam Works and in detail in the Silappadikaaram.
The Vedic Gods, Subrahmanya, Devi, Varuna,Vishnu and Indra were worshiped, assigning each of them to a unique terrain.
'Vaadai Vizha or Vadavazhi Vizha, the festival of welcoming the Lord Surya back to home, as He turns northward, celebrated on December 21/22 (Winter Solstice) (the sixth day of Panmizh[Maargazhi]). It is sung about in Akanauruanthology.
In Tamil Nadu the State Government has opened up Restaurants selling good tasty food at affordable Prices.

Other hotels charge anything between Rs 18 per plate of two Idlis and Curd Rice around Rs 20.
You do not get a Masala Dosa for anything less than Rs 70!

People think it is beneath their dignity to question this extortion.

is this not fleecing?
Why consumer groups are silent on this issue?
I saw a Talk show in Vijay TV Neeya Naana where the Hoteliers met with the customers for a discussion.
And they offer you what they think you like, never an authentic Tamil Nadu Cuisine except Idli Vada Ponga and Poori (which has become South Indian now( and a few other items)
Whys no specific Tamil specialties?
I can name quite a few.
Think about it,
