  1. Thanks for the information. Situated in Thanjavur, witness one of the most lavish indulgences of the Chola temple architectures at the Brihadishwara Temple. This is one of the largest temples in India and is rightly called the 'Big Temple'. It is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Also, check out various hotels in Thanjavur.
