The steps of the Brihadishwara Temple seem huge for her small legs but she makes giants steps lifting her dress high.
When you come to Thanjavur, come here twice: in the morning, when the honey-hued granite begins to assert its dominance over the whiteness of the morning, and in the evening, when the rocks capture a palette of reds, oranges, yellows and pinks on the crowning glory of Chola temple architecture. Anytime of day the temple is brimming with people and there will always be something special to observe.
