Thanjavur,the capital of the Cholas, as it was a thousand years ago.The perennial river Kaveri flows near this beautiful town.The townspeople are all praise for its architect Kunjaramallan Rajaraja Perunthachchan who has proudly carved his name on the temple wall.Inside is a massive Shiva linga.Thanjavur is also an example of a temple town.Temple towns represent a very important pattern of urbanisation, the process by which cities develop.Temples were often central to the economy and society.Pilgrims who flocked to the temples also made donations.Temple authorities used their wealth to finance trade and banking.So,in this way i think people regarded thanjavur as a great town.

A thousand years ago, thanjavar was bustling with big markets selling grains, spices, cloth and jewellery. Besides grand temples, there were places with mandapas or pavilion. The perennial river flows near this beautiful town. There is a beautiful temple - the Rajarajeshvara temple - built by famous king Rajarajadeva chola.The people of the state had all praise for its architecture and sculpture. That because of this reason, I think people regarded thanjavar as a great town.
