Tanjore Diaries

They say, one makes it to the big temples of India, only when they call out to you.

Maybe they do. But maybe my senses are not tuned to hearing the call.

And yet, I have been fortunate to make it to the big Shiva temples that people wait for a lifetime to visit….

Maybe it is just a result of a random travel choice. Or maybe there is some skew & bias …

Either way, I am happy to go with the flow and enjoy the beauty of the art & culture.

And through that journey, the discovery of the science within these spiritual constructs and concepts is WOWing me!

The experiences, have been tweaked out into the following threads for the purpose of focusses narration:

• Art in the Architecture of Tanjore
• Shiv Lings at Tanjore
• Wall Paintings & Murals at Tanjore
• The Saraswati Library of Tanjore
• Heritage Homes of Tanjore
• Stone Sculptures & Bronze Statues of Tanjore
• Tanjore Style Paintings – Where it all began
• Art of the Maratha Palace Tanjore

Come enjoy my personal journey through Tanjore through my notes.
