Historical places

Mostly I like to share historical and tourist places.History tell us the life stories of the people in the past.We tell the people to preserve our historical heritage.

  1. I can also explore about the one historical place in Thanjavur- BIG TEMPLE.

    The Brihadeeshwar temple at Thanjavur in Tamil Nadu, is the world’s first complete
    granite temple. Brihadeeshwar temple is the best example of excellent workmanship, grandeur
    and it has stood the testimony of time with its magnificent central dome which is a great
    attraction for one and all. The temple has been declared as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Built by
emperor Raja Raja Chola I and completed in 1010 AD, the temple turned 1000 years old in
2010.

  • Brihadeeswar temple is also called as Peruvudaiyar Kovil, Thanjai Periya kovil,
    Rajarajeswaramand RajaRajeshwara temple. It is a Hindu temple, which is dedicated towards
    Lord Shiva. Every month, the day on which the ruling star is Satabhisham is celebrated as a
    festival, as that was the birth star at the time of Raja Raj

    Raja Raja also launched several navalcampaigns on the ports of Malabar Coast (Kerala), Maldives and Sri Lanka.Raja Raja built the Peruvudaiyar Koyil in Thanjavur, one of the largest Hindu temples. … Raja Raja Chola died in 1014 CE and was succeeded by his son Rajendra Chola.
