This lady cuts and sells pineapples or ananas for tourists at Thotti Palam in south India. See and learn how to cut and serve a pineapple from her!

Did you know that the top leaves of a pineapple, once cut off from the fruit, as a skull cap, can be planted into the ground and will grow into a full pineapple plant...?

Thotti Palam (Hanging Bridge) is the tallest as well as the longest trough bridge in Asia, having a height of 101 feet and a length of one kilometre. This is situated in Mathur, hamlet of Aruvikkarai revenue village in Thiruvattar Panchayat Union. It is across the river Parazhiyar.

The canal is being shouldered by 28 huge pillars. By the efforts of late Thiru. K. Kamaraj, the former Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu in 1966, this canal was constructed as a drought relief measure and for the development of agriculture in Vilavancode and Kalkulam Taluks
