Salt fields in Tamil Nadu, India, are captivating coastal landscapes where seawater is channelled into shallow ponds, allowing the sun and wind to evaporate the water, leaving behind crystallised salt. These fields, commonly found along the state's southeastern coast, contribute substantially to India's salt production. The process is both traditional and eco-friendly, preserving the ecosystem's natural balance. Additionally, salt field activities provide employment opportunities for local communities, empowering them economically and fostering sustainable livelihoods.
