Thanjavur - My Hometown

Thanjavur - My Hometown

Brihadeeshwara Temple, Thanjavur

Why I want to write about my hometown ?

Many people out there already knows about this great city, Still I want to post about my hometown which is really special for me and I'm really proud about it.

Thanjavur is really a special place with many historic significant in and around it's territory. It's was the Capital city during "The great Chola Period". It's also known as "The Granary of Thamizh Nadu". The Cholas were the greatest rulers during their period and provided many importance to arts and architectures. They're known for their special knowledge building temples as per the AGAMA SHASTRA: The math for building temples. And one of the best also awestruck example of temples are The Brihadeeswara Temple. It's one of the famous shaivite temple dedicated to Lord Shiva, Located at the heart of the city and to specially mention 1008 years olden temple.  This temple itself is an amazing and world famous architecture built without any technological help during the period of Chola King Raja Raja Cholan built in 1010 A.D and has big story and interesting facts with it. This is one of the important tourist attraction spot of Thanjavur. I would come up with a dedicated post for this Big Temple.

Thanjavur is also the specialised centre for art and culture as many prominent artist raised up from this very special city. Thanjavur painting(Chola Paintings) and Thanjavur dolls(Bobblehead dolls) are highlights of art. Agriculture is the main occupation of people here.
