Tanjore- Historical city - Dosseir 1

Tanjore - an ancient city with historical importance, has been the cultural symbol of South Indian arts and tradition. Tanjore or Tanjavur has been ruled by Chola, Chera and Pandya kings. Tanjore was also once capital city of respective kingdoms during 600~900 AD. Fertile soil, abundance of water (cauveri river), talented labor, and dedication for improvisation of arts and culture has been important factor of Tanjore's development.

This section is just an introduction, over a period of time, this dossier would continue exploring Tanjore as a historical city. I am shortly planning to make a trip with my husband to explore temples in Tanjore.
