Solution

Coromandel coast

Explanation:

The Coromandel coast receives rainfall from the North East Monsoon because these winter winds sweep across the Bay of Bengal, picking up moisture before reaching India's southeastern shore. In contrast, the other regions get practically all of their rain from the summer Southwest Monsoon.
