After Saraswathy Mahal we went to Tanjavour Big Temple and it is really really really really really really BIG. They recently celebrated their 1000 year anniversary. It is a really old temple and I mean it when I say old. There is a big Nanthi and and even bigger Lingam. The Lingam is huge. This is a pic of the Nanthi. Unfortunately, we could not take a photo of the Lingam but it is BIG. There is also a statue of the architect of temple but he committed suicide. This was because he was a saivite and when Vaishnavites came into the temple he got angry and killed himself and cursed so that if any politician came into the temple would lose the election. Ever since that day, no politician came into the temple. This is a pic of the Nanthi.
