Description of the places visited by us on the 18th Dec tour of “A day in Thanjavur”.
Brihadeeswara Temple - We started our day in the morning at the world-famous UNESCO World Heritage site Sri Brihadeeswara Temple.
The Brihadeeswara Temple is located in Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu. This temple is very ancient and dedicated to Lord Shiva. The temple was built in the 11th century by the King Raja Raja Cholan.
Architecture of this temple is a good example of Chola architecture and execution.
It took Chola king only 6 years to complete the entire construction of this temple.
We also noticed there is a big statue of Nandi Ji carved out of a single stone. The height of the Nandi is 3.65 m, 5.94 m long and 2.59 m broad. The weight of the Nandi is 25 tons.
Then we had the darshan of Lord Shiva at the main temple. We had Darshan of “Shiv Lingam” Munshi Ji told us that this is a 12 feet shiv lingam and the weight is 12 tons.
Temple remained closed from 12:30 Pm to 4:00 pm
Guide Info - We explored the Brihadeeswara Temple with experienced guide Mr Munshi Ji.
Best time to visit - November to December is the best time to visit Thanjavur Temple, and if you are coming in summer it’s best you visit the temple in the Evening from 4 - 5 pm so that you can do darshan at the temple and in the evening you can experience the temple lighting as well.
Lunch near temple - After this, we had lunch at Sri Krishna Bhavan Restaurant, We had Veg South Indian thali. This was a Pure veg restaurant.
Thanjavur Palace - Then we headed towards Thanjavur Palace
Entry Ticket - Rs 25 per person
This palace is located just one km away from the Big Temple and has served as an important centre for both the Nayak dynasty and the Maratha kingdom. it was built by the Nayaks around 1550 AD and later expanded on by the Marathas between 1676-1855, and thus, is also known as the Maratha Palace.
Today, this palace has been transformed into a museum where visitors can observe old excavation statues on display.
Then we visited the Saraswathi Mahal Library, where we saw many manuscripts written on palm leaves in different languages.
After this, we ended our day

अदभुत है इस मंदिर का निर्माण।
प्राचीन भारत में गणित, विज्ञान और कला बहुत विकसित था।
🙏🙏 7:33
मजहबी कट्टरपंथीयों ने उत्तर भारत में हमारी धरोहरों को बहुत क्षति पहुंचाई ।
It is a mystery still on how the "logistics "of the Chola period worked out or how 'advanced' our Hindu Kings were,that they used "Elephant" to transport "granite" in the temple site while we are still struggling to transport nowadays using "Containers"!Radhe Radhe Harishji!Thank you for showing interest in the graphic development of Tamil language.
Brihadeshwara temple is example of our heritage legacy when it reached its 'peak' and proving any Science is part of the 'Sanatan'!🙏
तंजावुर की स्थापत्य कला के बारे में बचपन से सुनता आ रहा हूँ, इतिहास में भी इसके बारे में बहुत कुछ पढ़ा है, चोला राजा बहुत ही समृद्ध शासक हुए हैं तमिलनाडु में, उनके द्वारा बनवाये गए मंदिर बहुत ही आकर्षक और बेजोड़ हैं. तंजावुर अपनी नाट्य कला का इतिहास के बारे में भी बहुत ही प्रसिद्द है. इस एपिसोड के माध्यम से तंजावुर के अद्भुत दर्शन हुए. ग्रेनाइट पत्थर से बना हुआ ब्रिहदेश्वारा मंदिर बेहद खूबसूरत है. आपका बहुत बहुत धन्यवाद।
Thanjavur is also famous for world renowned paintings sir 😊.
मैं 17 August 24 को इस temple गया था। Amazing temple है मेरे भोलेनाथ जी का 🔱🔱🔱🔱 हर हर महादेव 🔱🔱🔱
Our maratha has great history
We are happy that our ancestors helped to preserve something of tamil culture love from maharashtra
Jy tamizhan jy maharashtra
but just you people forgot you are also part of south India till 16th century you people ruled south then moved to north !
@@sridharthota4227 yes raje shivaji breaked two mosque in madurai city which were built on temple
raja sambaji also ruled over madurai
To remove Islamic influence but after
That santaji and dhanaji peshwa bajirao ruled on north
It is right
@@sridharthota4227 bro in any case I love south
Marathis have no contribution to this tamil temple, they just came in when there were no tamil rulers and inspired by the shivan temple they built few structures like gate and paintings, don't make false history. It's entirely a tamil kings temple
@@balablazariovideos2579 I know u r leftist
Sir, This Tamilnadu Travel Series is One of the top 5 best series in your Channel Visa2explore.all episodes are wonderful
Thanks Harish ji, we love your channel and content - you must get tourism award from Govt of India 👍
I felt that Thanjavur in itself needs two to three days... Especially Brihadeshwara Temple .. And the other two world UNESCO heritage sites... Also the famous Thanjavur paintings
Vrihadeswara Temple is a sculpture of High architecture splendor of thousand of years which will last long. The sculpture of Marco Polo in the temple campus is a wonder by itself. The museum consisting so many stone sculptures of the time shows the richness of stone carvings during the period ✌️
हरीश जी आज का एपिसोड हर बार की तरह बहुत अद्भुत था। 1000 साल पुराना मंदिर देख के अनुभूति प्राप्त हुई। वाकई उस समय कैसे बनाया गया आपने आप मे एक अद्भुत कारीगरी है। इसमे कोई दो राय नहीं कि हमारी संस्कृति और हिंदू धर्म कितना कुछ सिखाता है। हरीश जी आपको और आपकी पूरी टीम को धन्यावाद एवं बधाई।
Yeh tour mein maza nahi aaya Harish ji
@@Purvi71237 Purvi Ji, Places pasand aana aapne aap me ek contest hai, Harish Ji jo place visit kar rhe hai explore kar rhe hai or uski jankari de rhe hai wo ek bdyia kam hai, like mujhe history pasand hai food pasand hai so I like this series. Or sabhi series harish ji bhut efforts se bana rhe hai, So I respect him and his team.
Beautiful tour of Brihadeeshwara temple. Also beautifully explained. Enjoyed this tour. Extraordinary temple architecture.
Thank u Harish ji. Because of u i have visited the famous Tanjavyr temple and came to know the richness of Hindu kindom in South India. ❤❤
Harish ji, thanks for making us realize how dwarfed we are in front of time and history.
Brihedeshwaar is a Magnum Opus Monument, it's magnificence can be felt only if one can visit this Extra ordinary Temple.....🙏🚩
नमस्कार हरीश जी 🙏
बहुत ही बढ़िया और सुंदर जगह है जहां हमारे भारत देश की सनातन हिन्दू धर्म और संस्कृति के दर्शन होते है 👍👌❤️
🙏💪💪🇮🇳💪💪🕉️❤️🙏
Last year we have visited this temple. All it was written in Tamil. Now, for your detailed info thank you so much. Stunning architecture.
108 is auspicious number in Jainism and Hinduism both.
Definitely there is connection between these religions.
Thank you so much Harish ji for covering the Ancient and such an important destination of Bharat that is Thanjavur.... I believe until now not many vloggers have covered this part & your among the first one to cover my Native place.... The temple is a great place to visit and worship🙏
Very magnificent architecture.one must be lucky enough to see this temple.
True
Wow very beautiful, our Hindustan's great history. Om Namaha Shivaya......
Great Hindus heritage maintained for centuries.
Wonderful to know hidden unseen treasures of our rich heritage in south india.
Grateful Baliji for such coverage 🙏
Hi Harish: Very nice video of the Thanjavur Brihadeeswara Temple. This temple is an architectural wonder and it is a testament to the builders that it is still standing tall, after a thousand years. Early on when you asked what the Nayak king was wearing on his head, the guide mentioned "kreedam" meaning a crown. I believe the army of celestial beings under Lord Shiva are called "Shiv Ganas" (pronounced "gaNaas").
Wow just wow TY dear Harishji this place is a gem I hope the Indian Govt promotes this place and the locals need to keep the place clean and receptive to non Indians
What a surprise temple had made in just, 6 year, that's great अर्किटेक्❤❤. इस जगह के वारे मे बहुत कुछ जानकारी मिली😊😊.Great episode👍👍
Very nice information. Really gets relevant information in your channel 😀
Harishji, as you said missed "Dharasuram" world heritage site.
It will take minimum 5 hours to know the intricacies of the temple.
Gangai konda cholapuram will be a great visit.
Such a beautiful history and architecture of Tanjavur.... very nicely explained.... very informative video...
Magnificent architecture of brihadeshwara temple
I think you missed out three major points. I’m surprised that the tour guide didn’t mention.
1. The viman of main temple is made of single granite with weight of 80 tonnes. It is still unknown how such huge stone brought at the top of the main temple and kept there.
2. Entire temple structure is made of granite stones interlocking. In 1000 years, there were several earthquakes, tsunami, cyclones, floods passed by but it didn’t damage a single things in this temple.
3. The main temple’s viman shade doesn’t fall on ground.
Last not the least, every temple across TN, you will find a demon face with half hands inside his mouth at top of every temple including Maa Meenakshi temple, Rameswaram temple, Brihadeswar temple, all 5 elements of creation Shiva temples, Ranganathswamy temple etc and most of houses (at top of the front gate or entrance).
His name is Krithi mukha, according to Shiva Mahapuran, the sages were disturbing Bhagwan Shiva when he was in medication. So, Bhagwan Shiva created this demon and asked to eat all of them after he ate all then he kept on asking what he will eat further, then Bhagwan Shiva told him eat yourself. He obeyed Bhagwan Shiva’s order Abd started eating himself. When Bhagwan Shiva saw him, he almost eat his entire body and only left with his face and both hands which he was eating.
Bhagwan Shiva gave him blessings that you will be worshiped at the top of every temple and houses.
Wow sir, good piece of information there.....thanks for expanding my knowledge 🙂😄
@@sriramsankar8958 You are welcome. I have little knowledge about Brihadeswar temple (Big Temple) and its history. I was witnessed when I visited with my parents in December'23.
बहुत सुंदर
हरीश जी आपकी वजह से इतना सुंदर मंदिर आज देखने मीला आपका बहुत बहुत धन्यवाद 🙏🏼🙏🏼
thank you for sharing with us this amazingly beautiful temple
जय श्री राम हरीश जी आप बहुत अच्छे से बाहरी वातावरण की जानकारी देते हो, बस आप मांसाहार छोड दो, शाकाहारी बनो, जय श्री राम, जय छत्रपती शिवाजी महाराज.
Just un imaginable this is just God's grace & chola conviction

Ancient architecture in South Indian states is absolutely magnificent.
Fantastic coverage of the temple!!
Nice. Definitely such temples needs days to see the sculptures in detail..
You should visit Belur, Halebidu, Somnathapur and Shravanabelagola (jain temple) temples in Karnataka. All these temples are in near proximity to Bangalore. Belur, Halebidu and Somnathpur temples are now UNESCO World Heritage sites. It is 1000+ yrs old and known for architecture marvel.. Built by Hoysala king Vishnuvardana. Shravanabelagola is proposed for UNESCO World Heritage site recognition

Mind blowing history and talent of kings
Thanks Harishji for your visit to Thanjavur. Most of the North Indian never visits this side. Mostly they will go Chennai, Kanjeevaram,Mahabalipuram,Madurai,Rameshwaram and Ooty and go to Bangalore. This side of Tamil Nadu having lot of Temples for your Prayers,Offerings,Architecture and Solution for your Karma short comings. I hope you will plan in future to bring out our Heritage to all. Yes people may not talk in Hindi but we never fail to help our Visitors. Best wishes to you!
Very interesting information as usual your thinking about exploring Indian ❤
Thanjavur episode very nice,thanks harish jee,
It's really wow video very informative and interesting loved to see it
Hi Harish, you have captured it well although there is lot more details to the temple and Chola dynasty. I had spent 3 days there and feel it’s not enough to know the history. Sad thing is there is widespread vandalism in the palace with people recklessly writing on walls. Hope the government takes notice urgently and maintains the place. Thanks for your Bharath Darshan
Enchanting beauty of the archetecture of the temples cannot be described in words.siva lingam is so tall that people do abhishekam from top they build a big ladder and they climb and do Puja wonderful deity
Hello Harish sir.
Bravo for your efforts in creating lovely episodes about our historical and cultural sites. As I love historical and cultural places, your episodes are closer to my heart.
Wanted to mention that @25:23 you said that you forgot what is the connection between those two charts. The first chart is of evolution of Tamil Vowels and the second one is of Tamil Consonants. Thanks!
So much beautiful video Harishji. 🙏👌
Blessed to see today s episode. And you have lost weight. Om Sai Ram 🙌
NICE COVERAGE,GUIDE CUD HAV GIVEN MUCH INFORMATION ABT TOWER
Great analysis great videos also provide great information.
Wonderfully explained. Many thanks
