One view of the temple
Thanjavur, named after the legendary asura ‘Tanjan’, is one of the oldest cities in India and rose to prominence during the rule of the Later Cholas when it served as their capital. It is home to the Brihadisvara Temple (Periya Kovil) dedicated to Lord Brihadisvara, an incarnation of Shiva.
This temple is part of the Great Living Chola Temples, a World Heritage Site recognised by UNESCO.
