The biggest attraction of Thanjavur - The Brahadeshwara Temple, also known as the Big Temple. Built during the reign of the Great Chola emperor, Raja Raja Chola, this temple is an architectural marvel.

on Brahadeshwara Temple 3 years ago

Walking distance from old bus stand. 5km from new bus stand (Fare INR 5/- on bus). Inside temple one can keep their luggage and shoes in lockers. Photography allowed inside the campus. During day i (Read More)t's pretty painful to walk bare footed over the rocks (it is advised to wear shocks if possible to avoid the heat)
