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.
