Thanjavur, one of Tamilnadu's 32 districts, is known as the Rice Bowl of Tamilnadu and the Delta city. Thanjavur is thought to have gotten its name from the Mythical Demon Tanja. Thanjavur is 350 kilometers from Chennai, the state capital. This neighborhood is a treasure trove of religious, artistic, and architectural treasures. Thanjavur's temples are under UNESCO World Heritage Monuments and termed as "Great Living Chola Temples." The Brahadeshwara Temple in Thanjavur is the most popular tourist attraction.
