Thanjavur is an important centre of South Indian religion, art and architecture. Most of the temples of the Great Living Chola, which are UN World Heritage Sites, are located in And around Thanjavur. The most important of them, the temple of Brihadesvar, is located in the center of the city. Thanjavur is also home to tanjore painting, a style of painting unique to the region. Thanjavur is the headquarters of the Thanjavur district. The city is an important agricultural centre located in the Kaveri Delta and is known as the Tamil Nadu Rice Bowl. Thanjavur is run by a municipal corporation covering an area of 36.33 sq km (14.03 sq m) and with a population of 222,943 in 2011. Roads are the main means of transportation, while the city also has a rail link. The nearest airport is Tiruccirapallli International Airport, located 59.6 km from the city. The nearby seaport of Karaikal, which is 94 km (58 miles) from Thanjavur.The city first rose to prominence during the reign of Cholas, when it served as the capital of the empire. After the fall of Cholas, the city was ruled by various dynasties, as Vijayanagar Empire, Madurai Nayaks, Thanjavur Nayaks, Thanyavur Maratas and the British Empire. It has been part of independent India since 1947.The name of the city 'Thanjavur' seems to come from the name of King Mutarayar 'Thananjay' or 'Dhananjaya'. (quote necessary) According to local legend, the word Thanjavur comes from Tanjan, an Asura (giant) in Hindu mythology who was killed in what is now Thanjavur Hindu god Neelamegha Perumal, a form of Vishnu. There are no references to Thanjavur in any of the Sangam periods (third century BC to the fourth century AD) tamil records, although some scholars believe that the city has existed since then. Kovil Wenni, located 24 km east of the city, was the site of the Battle of Wenni between King Chola Karikala and the Confederation of Ceras and Pandya. Cholas seemed to encounter an invasion of Kalabhra in the third century AD, after which the kingdom disappeared into obscurity. The area around the present day Thanjavur was conquered by the Mutharayars during the sixth century, which ruled it to 849. (quote needed) Cholas came to fame once again through the rise of medieval monarch Chol Vijayalaya (841-878) in about 850. Vijayalaya conquered Thanjavur from King Mutharayar Elango Mutarayar and built a temple dedicated to the Hindu goddess Nisumbhaudani. His son Aditya I (871-901) consolidated control of the city. King Rashtrakut Krishna II (878-914), a contemporary of King Chola Parantak I (907-950), claims to have defeated Tanjavour, but there is no record of support for this assertion. Gradually, Thanjavur became the most important city in the Chola Empire and remained its capital until the advent of the Gangaicond Cholapura around 1025. During the first decade of the eleventh century, King Chola Raja Chola CholA I (985-1014) built the Temple of Brihadiswarar in Tanapur. The temple is considered one of the best examples of Tamil architecture. When the Chol Empire began to decline in the 13th century, pandies from the south invaded and captured Tanjavur twice, first in 1218-19 and then during 1230. During the second invasion, King Chola Rajaraj III (1216-1256) was expelled and sought the help of King Hoisala Vira Narasimha II (1220-35) to return Tanavur. Tanjavur was eventually annexed along with the rest of the kingdom of Chola by King Pandya Maravarman Kulasekar Pandyan I (1268-1308) in 1279, and chola's kings were forced to accept pandya suthering. Pandies ruled Tanjavur from 1279 to 1311, when their kingdom was arrested by Malik Kafour '1296-1306 and then annexed by the Delhi Sultanate. The Sultanate expanded its powers directly over the regions from 1311 to 1335, and then through the semi-independent Ma Bar Sultanate from 1335 to 1378. Beginning in the 1350s, the Sultanate Maa Bar was steadily absorbed by the growing empire of Vijayanagar.Tanjavur in 1869thanjavur is believed to have been conquered by Campanna Udayar during its invasion of Srirangam between 1365 and 1371. The inscription Virgo paradise is dated 1443, the inscription of Tirumala is dated 1455, and the land grants of Achuta Virgo date back to 1532 and 1539, testify to the dominance of Vijayanagar over Thanyavuru. Sevapp Nayak (1532-1580), Viceroy Vijayanagar Arkot, established himself as an independent monarch in 1532 (1549, according to some reports) and founded the kingdom of Thanyavur Nayak. Achutapa Nayak (1560-1614), Raghunatha Nayak (1600-1634) and Vijay Ragawa Nayak (1634-1673) are among the important rulers of the Nayak dynasty, who ruled Tanjavur. Tanjavur Nayaks was notable for his patronage of literature and art. Vijay Raghunatha Nayak, son of Chokkanata, was killed in battle, and Chokkanata's brother Alagiri Nayak (1673-1675) was crowned as ruler of the empire. Tanjavur was successfully conquered in 1674 by Ekoji I (1675-1684), Marath feudal sultan of Bijapur and half brother of Shivaji (1627/30-80) of the Bhonsle dynasty. Ekoji founded the kingdom of Tanyavur Marat, which ruled Tagliavour until 1855. The Marats exercised their sovereignty over Tanyavur during the last quarter of the 17th and 18th centuries. The rulers of the Marata patronized the karnatic music. In 1787, Amar Singh, Regent of Tanadjapur, overthrew the minor Raju, his nephew Serfoja II (1787-1793) and took the throne. Serfoji II was restored in 1799 with the help of the British, who forced him to relinquish control of the kingdom and left him in charge of Fort Tagliavour and surrounding areas. The kingdom was eventually absorbed by British India in 1855 by the Lapse doctrine, when Shivaji II (1832-1855), the last ruler of the Talyavura Marat, died without a legitimate male heir. The British referred to the city as Tanjore in their records. Five years after the annexation, the British replaced the Negapattins (modern Nagapattinam) with Tagliavur as the residence of the district administration. Under the British, Thanjavur became an important regional center. The 1871 Census in India recorded a population of 52,171, making Tagliavour the third largest city in the Madras presidency. After India gained independence, Tagliavour continued to work as the district's headquarters. Thanjavur is located at 10'48'N79'09'E / 10.8'N 79.15 'E'23 Inflows of the River Cavuri, namely, the Grand Anakut Canal (Pudhaaru), Vadaru and Vennaaru River flow through the rivers Thanjavur is located in the Kaveri Delta, 314 km (195 miles) southwest of Chennai and 56 km (35 miles) east of Tiruchirappalli. While the plains directly adjacent to the Cowveri River have been cultivated since time immemorial, much of the town of Tagliavur and surrounding areas is located in the New Delta, a dry, barren erect site that was irrigated in the early 19th century. South of Tagliavour is the Wallama Dining Room, a small plateau interspersed at regular intervals by sandstone ridges. The nearest seaport is Nagapattinam, which is 84 km east of Thanyawu. The nearest airport is Tiruccirapallli International Airport, located 56 km (35 miles) away. The city is 59 metres above average. The total area of the city is 36.33 km2 (14.03 sq m).

India’s Best-Kept Secret: The Sarasvati Mahal* IIC has a very special place in my heart because when I was a student in JNU in 1996-98, almost every Friday or Saturday I used to come here and listen to lectures or concerts. Those two years made me understand our heritage not just from an artistic point of view but also from a cross-disciplinary point of view, bringing my academic learning in JNU and my understanding of culture here together. Although I must confess that I had never thought when I sat here as a member of the audience that I would actually one day come up here and speak. I gave a very provocative title to this lecture about the Thanjavur Maharaja Serfoji’s Sarasvati Mahal Library partly for raising your curiosity but as I list some of its treasures, you will understand how perfectly apt it is that I should call it India’s best-kept secret. In my hands is a classic example of the proverb that asks us not to judge a book by the covers.

  • Economic and Cultural History of Tamilnadu from Sangam Age to 1800 C.E
    I - M.A. HISTORY Code No. 18KP1HO3 SOCIO – ECONOMIC AND CULTURAL HISTORY OF TAMILNADU FROM SANGAM AGE TO 1800 C.E. UNIT – I Sources The Literay Sources Sangam Period The consisted, of Tolkappiyam a Tamil grammar work, eight Anthologies (Ettutogai), the ten poems (Padinen kell kanakku ) the twin epics, Silappadikaram and Manimekalai and other poems. The sangam works dealt with the aharm and puram life of the people. To collect various information regarding politics, society, religion and economy of the sangam period, these works are useful. The sangam works were secular in character. Kallabhra period The religious works such as Tamil Navalar Charital,Periyapuranam and Yapperumkalam were religious oriented, they served little purpose. Pallava Period Devaram, written by Apper, simdarar and Sambandar gave references tot eh socio economic and the religious activities of the Pallava age. The religious oriented Nalayira Tivya Prabandam also provided materials to know the relation of the Pallavas with the contemporary rulers of South India. The Nandikkalambakam of Nandivarman III and Bharatavenba of Perumdevanar give a clear account of the political activities of Nandivarman III. The early pandya period Limited Tamil sources are available for the study of the early Pandyas. The Pandikkovai, the Periyapuranam, the Divya Suri Carita and the Guruparamparai throw light on the study of the Pandyas. The Chola Period The chola empire under Vijayalaya and his successors witnessed one of the progressive periods of literary and religious revival in south India The works of South Indian Vishnavism arranged by Nambi Andar Nambi provide amble information about the domination of Hindu religion in south India.
