Tranquebar, officially known as Tharangambadi, is a historic coastal town located in the Mayiladuthurai district of Tamil Nadu, India. Situated along the Coromandel Coast, its local Tamil name translates beautifully to the “land of the singing waves.” The town is unique because it served as India’s primary Danish colonial settlement from 1620 until 1845, when it was sold to the British East India Company.
