Detailed Overview

Thanjavur (formerly Tanjore) is a historic cultural hub in Tamil Nadu and the former capital of the Chola Dynasty. Known as the cradle of South Indian art, architecture, Carnatic music, and Bharatanatyam, Thanjavur offers a rich heritage experience for travelers.
During the Chola period, the city flourished as a major center of temple architecture and royal patronage. The UNESCO-listed Brihadeeshwara Temple, also known as the Big Temple, is one of the most remarkable examples of Dravidian architecture. Thanjavur is also famous for its Tanjore paintings, ancient manuscripts, bronze sculptures, and historical palaces.
Every year in October, the city celebrates the Sathaya Thiruvizha, marking the birthday of Rajaraja Chola, the builder of Brihadeeshwara Temple. Nearby Thiruvaiyaru hosts the annual Carnatic Music Festival, a major event for classical music lovers.
