Art & Architecture

I started this blog to help me improve my photography skills and indulge myself in clicking something interesting apart from food too.  I still continue posting in FB page for this blog, but have long neglected this space. So, to nurture it again, i signed up for A-Z challenge for April 2016.
Starting from today i will be posting one picture everyday, with Sunday's off. Hoping to complete the challenge well. I dont have any particular theme for this challenge, it will be a random post that will be in alphabetical order.
Today i have some pics from our Tanjore/Thanjavur Visit.  Tanjore/Thanjavur is a city in the southern state of Tamilnadu, India. A city known for The Big Temple, The Chola love for architecture, world famous Tanjore Paintings and the list is endless.
Here today, i show you a glimpse of that timeless art & architecture that stands today, to tell us stories of our rich cultural heritage. 

The Entrance to The Big Temple
The Iconic Big Temple Tower , UNESCO certified Heritage Site,
The Tower is built in such way, that its shadow will fall on itself and not
on the ground, this was some 1000 years ago!!!! #Salute 



A watch tower behind Saraswathi Mahal,
 and also an arms storage.
Clock Tower near the Bus Stand

Painting inside the Central hall of Saraswathi Mahal,
made using natural colors, bright as new


Will meet you all with another picture-perfect post, ciao!!!
