    • Marvel at the Architecture of the Big Temple. It's officially called the Brihadeshwara temple, but there's an obvious reason why this temple is colloquially known as the Big Temple (Periya Kovil in the local language).
    • Get the Blessings of Lord Shiva. King Raja Raja I was an ardent devotee of Lord Shiva, Hinduism's powerful god of creation and destruction. The Big Temple and Lord Shiva's bull aren't the only things that are notably large.
    • Have an Encounter with Royalty. Thanjavur’s other major landmark is the rambling 10-acre Royal Palace Complex, located within walking distance of the Big Temple on East Main Street.
    • See Ancient Sculptures and Bones of a Whale. An art gallery was established in 1951 in part of the palace complex, to ensure that archaeologically important sculptures remained in the area.
