Thanjavur Brahan Natyanjali, Feb 2015
Thanjavur Brahan Natyanjali 2015 was held from 17th to 23rd February at the Big Temple, Thanjavur (Tanjore).
The Brihadeeswarar Temple or Peruvudaiyar Kovil, also known as Rajarajeswaram, at Thanjavur in Tamil Nadu, is the world's first complete granite temple. It is a brilliant example of the artistry and architecture of the Vishwakarmas in temple architecture. It is a tribute and a reflection of the power of its patron Rajaraja Chola I. It is one of the greatest glories of Indian architecture and is one of our most prized architectural sites. The temple is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the "Great Living Chola Temples."
The foundations of the temple were laid out by the Tamil Emperor Arulmozhivarman, popularly called Rajaraja Chola I, in 1002 CE, as the first of the great Tamil Chola building projects.
