Thanjavur

If you have watched the trailer of Ponniyan Selvan l, you must be aware of what is Thanjavur famous for. Let's know more about it

Sight Seeing

We had booked an overnight train from Rameswaram to Thanjavur. I was already eager to see the mighty Temple, Thanjavur is famous for as I am admirer of the vast Chola dynasty.

We got down at the station to reach the hotel we had booked near the temple. We took our keys, freshened up and got ready for the sightseeing. Temple is located in the main city so you can easily reach there and utilize the open hours for sightseeing

Once you reach the beautiful and huge temple you will forget everything else. It is visible from the road and has huge entry doors or gopurams. It is a lord Shiva temple and has a lovely aarti in the morning and evening. Amazing campuses to see aroun

It took us a couple of hours to see the whole art and architecture of the Marvel of Chola empire. It was true to the hype, such a huge thing built in those days. Every structure was intricately designed and built. We saw everything before we moved

I would suggest if you are a traveller then a day would be enough to explore major things around Thanjavur. After exploring Brihadeshwara temple we moved to eat something and explore the market area around. Some dolls with dancing head were famous.

Activity

I would always suggest you to eat from the local vendors the traditional food as it is very tasty and cheap. After filling our tummy we went to our rooms and rested to start the journey again. Loved the experience of Thanjavur
