About Thanjavur, Your Drop Point
Thanjavur was the capital of the Chola Empire and reached its architectural peak under Raja Raja Chola I, who built the Brihadeeswara Temple in the 11th century, and is the headquarters of Thanjavur district in the Cauvery delta of Tamil Nadu, roughly 350 km southwest of Chennai and about 60 km from Trichy, on NH 83. Today the temple is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the Great Living Chola Temples, with a vimana over 60 metres tall and a monolithic dome carved from a single granite block. Fed by the Cauvery river network, Thanjavur's surrounding delta is widely called the rice bowl of Tamil Nadu, and the city is also known for handcrafted Tanjore paintings, bronze work, and veena-making. This combination of Chola-era heritage and delta agriculture makes Thanjavur a major heritage and pilgrimage destination.
