The villagers greet and show their strength and ability and one can see school children to aged farmers with great energy and love. If by chance a festival is getting on, we will not miss it and as well a family functions like weddings, baby’s ear piercings and hair removal etc. plus goat and other sacrifices to temples etc. We will walk to the villagers' small religious temple and known as the protective guarding temple of the village to pray. Nature and natural people together can be met and we can enjoy their companionship.

VILLAGE STAY AND VILLAGE TOUR.
La Woods Village stay … Tan (Thanjavur)
Palayeekkudikadu, Ambalappattu south, Papanad 614626, Orthanad Taluk, Tanjore District.
A village is a clustered human settlement or community, larger than a hamlet but smaller than a town, with a population ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand. Villages are normally permanent, with fixed dwellings. Further, the dwellings of a village are fairly not very close to one another, not scattered broadly over the landscape, as a dispersed settlement.
In the past, villages were a usual form of community for societies that practice subsistence agriculture and also for some non-agricultural societies. Villages have been eclipsed in importance as units of human society and settlement. Although many patterns of village life have existed, the typical village was small, consisting of perhaps 5 to 30 families. Homes were situated for sociability and defense and land surrounding the living quarters was farmed.
