1000 Year old Temple


Jonathan came for the weekend and we had a splendid adventure.  On Saturday we went to Thanjavur which is about an hour bus ride from Trichy.  We arrived in Thanjavur and it seemed like a very small town.  We hopped in an auto and went to Big Temple.  We soon realized that Thanjavur is in fact a rather large city.  The temple was massive, beautiful, and free!  The temple is a World Heritage site and is open to the public.  We wondered around the complex slowly discussing the beauty of the temple, history, and religion.  It was really amazing standing in this temple complex knowing that it was 1000 years old.
