Thanjavur periya Kovil

It was the June holidays!I jumped for joy. It was the time to go to India.
June 3 early morning
My family and I went to India by flight. It was a long and boring time in the flight. Once we reached our destination, we did all the procedures. Soon we went to my Father's friend's house. We visited all our friends and relatives in Chennai. After a few days, we went to Madurai by train. It was a short time. We stayed in my grandparent's house. We also visited our friends and relatives there! We planned to go to Thanjavur  by car. It was a fun trip in the car. We stopped at many places to buy things such as flowers, coconut, leaves for the prayers.
About Thanjavur Periya Kovil 

The people who have built the temple have put in a lot of workmanship, hard work and effort. They would have tried many times building the temple as it is the tallest temple and the best thing is that the shadow of the gopurum never falls on the ground. It is very hard to do that. The temple is built by king RajaRaja. Everything is sculptured very clearly and they are big.
The temple is also very humongous and beautiful.The tower is 216 feet tall.
About the Shadow- The most intersting part of this temple is the shadow of the temple, which surprisingly never falls on the ground .The Brihadeshwar Temple is one of the tallest temples in the world and is so designed that the gopurum does not cast a shadow!

I really liked the Thanjavur periya Kovil.  You must go to that temple it is spectaculars!
I hope you enjoyed this reflection of mine. I would try to upload more photos.
