Enjoy a one day tour to Thanjavur from Tiruchirappalli. Well-known throughout the world for being the home of the Brahadeeswara Temple, a magnificent palace, Rajah Serfoji's "Saraswathi Mahal Library" and an art gallery.
Begin your tour with complimentary pick-up from your local Tiruchirappalli hotel or airport around 9am. Drive first to the city of Tanjore to visit the Prahadeeshwar Temple. Following, arrive at the Brahadeeswarar Temple.
Also called the Big temple, the Brahadeeswarar Temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva. One of the more popular temples in South India, the Brahadeeswarar Temple is the Chola dynasty's finest contribution to Dravidian temple architecture. What makes the construction so unique is the diversion from the usual temple building norms of having a tall gopuram and smaller vimanams (the tower over the sanctum).
Visit the Saraswathi Mahal Library, one of the few medieval libraries that exist in the world. It is an unparalleled repository of cultural antiques and an inexhaustible treasure house of knowledge built by successive dynasties of the Nayaks and the Marathas who ruled Thanjavur. It contains a very rare and valuable collection of manuscripts, books, maps and paintings on all aspects of art, culture and literature.
Conclude your tour at around 4-6pm and enjoy complimentary drop-off at your local Tiruchirappalli hotel or airport.
