Disappointed to see ASI management of Saraswati Library and palace management. Seems they are there to slowly kill the heritage.

A must visit for every Hindu. The magnetic energy there is to be experienced. The temple structure would leave you spell bound.

Amazing architecture and well preserved temple of 1003AD. This Hindu temple has many specialties like we cannot see the shadow of the main temple at anytime of the day, it is so well calucated and built. Inside there is a big Shiva lingam. Highly recommended place if you happen to be nearby Tanjore.
