Description of the places visited by us on the 18th Dec tour of “A day in Thanjavur”.
Brihadeeswara Temple - We started our day in the morning at the world-famous UNESCO World Heritage site Sri Brihadeeswara Temple.
The Brihadeeswara Temple is located in Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu. This temple is very ancient and dedicated to Lord Shiva. The temple was built in the 11th century by the King Raja Raja Cholan.
Architecture of this temple is a good example of Chola architecture and execution.
It took Chola king only 6 years to complete the entire construction of this temple.
We also noticed there is a big statue of Nandi Ji carved out of a single stone. The height of the Nandi is 3.65 m, 5.94 m long and 2.59 m broad. The weight of the Nandi is 25 tons.
Then we had the darshan of Lord Shiva at the main temple. We had Darshan of “Shiv Lingam” Munshi Ji told us that this is a 12 feet shiv lingam and the weight is 12 tons.
Temple remained closed from 12:30 Pm to 4:00 pm
Guide Info - We explored the Brihadeeswara Temple with experienced guide Mr Munshi Ji.
Best time to visit - November to December is the best time to visit Thanjavur Temple, and if you are coming in summer it’s best you visit the temple in the Evening from 4 - 5 pm so that you can do darshan at the temple and in the evening you can experience the temple lighting as well.
Lunch near temple - After this, we had lunch at Sri Krishna Bhavan Restaurant, We had Veg South Indian thali. This was a Pure veg restaurant.
Thanjavur Palace - Then we headed towards Thanjavur Palace
Entry Ticket - Rs 25 per person
This palace is located just one km away from the Big Temple and has served as an important centre for both the Nayak dynasty and the Maratha kingdom. it was built by the Nayaks around 1550 AD and later expanded on by the Marathas between 1676-1855, and thus, is also known as the Maratha Palace.
Today, this palace has been transformed into a museum where visitors can observe old excavation statues on display.
Then we visited the Saraswathi Mahal Library, where we saw many manuscripts written on palm leaves in different languages.
After this, we ended our day

अदभुत है इस मंदिर का निर्माण। प्राचीन भारत में गणित, विज्ञान और कला बहुत विकसित था। 🙏🙏 7:33 मजहबी कट्टरपंथीयों ने उत्तर भारत में हमारी धरोहरों को बहुत क्षति पहुंचाई ।
It is a mystery still on how the "logistics "of the Chola period worked out or how 'advanced' our Hindu Kings were,that they used "Elephant" to transport "granite" in the temple site while we are still struggling to transport nowadays using "Containers"!Radhe Radhe Harishji!Thank you for showing interest in the graphic development of Tamil language. Brihadeshwara temple is example of our heritage legacy when it reached its 'peak' and proving any Science is part of the 'Sanatan'!🙏
Sir, This Tamilnadu Travel Series is One of the top 5 best series in your Channel Visa2explore.all episodes are wonderful
Thanks Harish ji, we love your channel and content - you must get tourism award from Govt of India 👍
तंजावुर की स्थापत्य कला के बारे में बचपन से सुनता आ रहा हूँ, इतिहास में भी इसके बारे में बहुत कुछ पढ़ा है, चोला राजा बहुत ही समृद्ध शासक हुए हैं तमिलनाडु में, उनके द्वारा बनवाये गए मंदिर बहुत ही आकर्षक और बेजोड़ हैं. तंजावुर अपनी नाट्य कला का इतिहास के बारे में भी बहुत ही प्रसिद्द है. इस एपिसोड के माध्यम से तंजावुर के अद्भुत दर्शन हुए. ग्रेनाइट पत्थर से बना हुआ ब्रिहदेश्वारा मंदिर बेहद खूबसूरत है. आपका बहुत बहुत धन्यवाद।

Thanjavur is also famous for world renowned paintings sir 😊.
I felt that Thanjavur in itself needs two to three days... Especially Brihadeshwara Temple .. And the other two world UNESCO heritage sites... Also the famous Thanjavur paintings
Vrihadeswara Temple is a sculpture of High architecture splendor of thousand of years which will last long. The sculpture of Marco Polo in the temple campus is a wonder by itself. The museum consisting so many stone sculptures of the time shows the richness of stone carvings during the period ✌️
Beautiful tour of Brihadeeshwara temple. Also beautifully explained. Enjoyed this tour. Extraordinary temple architecture.
108 is auspicious number in Jainism and Hinduism both. Definitely there is connection between these religions.
Brihedeshwaar is a Magnum Opus Monument, it's magnificence can be felt only if one can visit this Extra ordinary Temple.....🙏🚩
Thank u Harish ji. Because of u i have visited the famous Tanjavyr temple and came to know the richness of Hindu kindom in South India. ❤❤
Harish ji, thanks for making us realize how dwarfed we are in front of time and history.
हरीश जी आज का एपिसोड हर बार की तरह बहुत अद्भुत था। 1000 साल पुराना मंदिर देख के अनुभूति प्राप्त हुई। वाकई उस समय कैसे बनाया गया आपने आप मे एक अद्भुत कारीगरी है। इसमे कोई दो राय नहीं कि हमारी संस्कृति और हिंदू धर्म कितना कुछ सिखाता है। हरीश जी आपको और आपकी पूरी टीम को धन्यावाद एवं बधाई।

Amazing architecture of Cholla and Chera
Harishji, as you said missed "Dharasuram" world heritage site. It will take minimum 5 hours to know the intricacies of the temple. Gangai konda cholapuram will be a great visit.
Koi shabd hi nahi osam amezing❤
Hi Harish: Very nice video of the Thanjavur Brihadeeswara Temple. This temple is an architectural wonder and it is a testament to the builders that it is still standing tall, after a thousand years. Early on when you asked what the Nayak king was wearing on his head, the guide mentioned "kreedam" meaning a crown. I believe the army of celestial beings under Lord Shiva are called "Shiv Ganas" (pronounced "gaNaas").
Such a beautiful history and architecture of Tanjavur.... very nicely explained.... very informative video...
What a surprise temple had made in just, 6 year, that's great अर्किटेक्❤❤. इस जगह के वारे मे बहुत कुछ जानकारी मिली😊😊.Great episode👍👍
