Title

PLACE OF TOURIST INTEREST IN THANJAVUR DISTRICT – A STUDY

Abstract

Thanjavur has its significance and glory from the very ancient days. The place is made mention not only in Puranas, Epics and even Sangam literary works as a pilgrim center. Thanjavur known for its ancient language and rich cultural tradition has numerous places of tourism interest for people belonging to other parts of the country and also other nations. Tourism is a highly developed economic activity and it is very useful for all countries, particularly the underdeveloped ones. It is also for this reason that the central and state governments in India are taking a keen interest in the promotion of tourism. The numerous temples located all over the Thanjavur also have varied historical significance. Tourism is one of the major industries in the world and as a result, there is a growing awareness of the need to manage it effectively. The home of Carnatic music, musical instruments dance and traditional handicrafts, Thanjavur is famous for the Brahadeswarar temple which is a world heritage site. The Temple constructed more than a thousand years ago by the Chola King Raja, Raja is an architectural marvel. The Brahadeeswarar temple, called the Big Temple, is dedicated to Lord Siva. It was built by the great Chola King Raja Raja (A.D. 1985- 1012). It is an outstanding example of Chola architecture. Beautiful Chola fresco paintings adorn the inner walls of the Temple. The Airavatheeswarar of Darasuram temple built by Raja Raja Chola II (Rajendra Chola) is an example of twentieth-century Chola architecture and is well preserved even to this day. The frontal columns of the temple have unique miniature sculptures. Sri Swaminatha Swamy Temple is built on an artificial Swamimalai, a small town near Kumbakonam. Thanjavur Maharaja Serfoji’s Mahal Library is one among the few libraries in the world with texts of the medieval period. It is a treasure house of knowledge carefully fostered and nurtured by successive dynasties of Nayakas and the Marathas of Thanjavur.
