  • Maharaja Serfoji Ii -The Famous Thanjavur Maratha King
    Vol. 3 No. 3 January 2016 ISSN: 2321 – 788X MAHARAJA SERFOJI II -THE FAMOUS THANJAVUR MARATHA KING Dr. S. Vanajakumari Associate Professor, Department of History, Sri Meenakshi Govt. College (W), Madurai- 625 002 Abstract The place of Thanjavur in Tamilnadu (South India) has a long past history, fertile region and capital of many kingdoms. Thanjavur was a part of the kingdom of the Sangam Cholas. Later Thanjavur was ruled by the Kalabhras, the Pallavas and the Imperial Cholas. Then it was for a short period under the rule of the Pandyas and Vijayanagar Kings who appointed Sevappa Nayak as a viceroy of Thanjavur. Keywords: Thanjavur, Sangam, Kalabhras, Pandyas, Vijayanagar, Pallavas, Marathas, Chattrapathy Shivaji Establishment of Marathas power in Thanjavur Sevappa Nayak (1532-1560) was the founder of Thanjavur Nayak dynasty.1 Vijayaraghava (1634-1674) the last king of this dynasty, lost his life in a battle with Chokkanatha Nayak of Madurai in the year 1662. The Madurai Nayak appointed Alagiri, as the Governor of Thanjavur. This was followed by a long civil war in the Thanjavur kingdom. Alagiri wanted to rule independently and it restrained the relationship between Alagiri and Chokkanatha Nayak. Sengamaladas was the infant son of Vijayaraghava. Venkanna the Rayasam of Vijayaragava desired to make Sengamaladas as the Nayak of Thanjavur and sought the help of Bijapur Sultan who send Ekoji alias Venkogi to capture Thanjavur. He defeated Alagiri and crowned Sengamaladas. But, Venkanna did not get any benefit from Sengamaladas. So he induced Ekoji to usurp the power and got victory. Thus, in 1676 Ekoji established Maratha rule in the Tamil country.

  • Surface and Sub Surface Soil Mapping Using Geological and Geotechnical Investigation for Western Cauvery Delta, Thanjavur and Thiruvarur Districts, Tamil Nadu, India
    IOSR Journal of Applied Geology and Geophysics (IOSR-JAGG) e-ISSN: 2321–0990, p-ISSN: 2321–0982.Volume 4, Issue 1 Ver. I (Jan. - Feb. 2016), PP 49-57 www.iosrjournals.org Surface and sub surface soil mapping using geological and geotechnical investigation for Western Cauvery Delta, Thanjavur and Thiruvarur Districts, Tamil Nadu, India. Mr C. Sankar.¹ Dr S. Senthamil Kumar.² Dr. C. Lakshumanan³ ¹Department of Civil engineering, Periyar Maniammai University. Vallam.

Abstract: Subsurface investigation is ascertaining, Properties and types of soil at various depths in study area. This finding is useful for geologist, geotechnical engineers and Agricultural scientist. Selected site in study area, the envoy sub surface soil sample has collected with help of Standard Penetration Test (SPT) sampling techniques. Collected sub surface soil sample has tested in Laboratory and resulting soil properties are tabulated. From geo referenced Tamil Nadu soil prepared by National Bureau of soil survey and Land use Planning (ICAR), Nagpur, Department of Agriculture, Tamil Nadu, the soil unit has mapped with help of Arc MAP. Study area Key map, soil sample location map has prepared From LISS IV image data and Survey of India Topo sheets. Using Garmin GPS the Geo coordinate has observed while sampling on different site on the Study area. Key Words: Arc map, Density, Geo coordinate, GPS, Sampling and SPT. I. Introduction Soil is most important after Air and Water in the earth, more than 90% world food production is dependent on soil.
