Tanjore and Kumbakonam


after the Music Festival in Bangalore we where travelling in Tamil Nadu for some time like Kumbakonam and Tanjore. Here we are at the Brhadeshwara Tempel, with the big Rock on top of the Temple roof. Built in the 7th century by pallavas and finnished by the chola kings in the 13th century this temple is one of the most famous temple in architecture for tourist to come. A lot of wall paintings around the temple walls, and one finds also very nice drawing of Lord Narasimha here.
