Himanshi Bhardwaj, student of Saksham Sanchar Foundation shared her experience of travelling to Thanjavur.
I went to visit Thanjavur in the end of March. The place is very beautiful and is a popular city of South Indian state of Tamil Nadu. I went there by train. The best time to visit the place would be the month from November – February, when there is Hot and Humid climate. The city is well maintained and clean. The food which is famous in Thanjavur is Janty Rasam, Ashoka Halica, Pal Payasam and many more. You must try them when you visit there.
The most Popular Place of Thanjavur is Brihadeeswar Temple: This temple is of lord Shiva. The sculpture of lord Shiva is 11 feet long. The temple was made by Chola dynasty in 11th century. The temple has a tomb on top of it which was made by single stone and it was placed on the top of temple by making 1.8 km path. It has two big gates as an entry. The walls are really huge to protect the people of country just in case of war. The architecture is really eye-catchy and mesmerising. This temple is also known for its feature of not creating a shadow of its own.
Thanjavur Dells: Thanjavur doll is a type of Traditional India bobblehend made of terracotta material. These dolls kept on moving or we can Saying dancing. The center of gravity and total weight of the doll is concentrated at its bottom-most point, generating a dance at the movement.
