Big temple (Picture Credit: Suhas Ambale)
Few temples in the world convey as much grandeur and majesty as the great Chola temples of Tamil Nadu. The legacy of stone-temple building by the Pallavas was inherited well by the Chola emperors – for a period of over three centuries, these emperors and artisans sustained what could arguably be India’s greatest and grandest temple construction programmes.
Come, join us for a three-day tour of the Great Living Chola Temples this Republic Day long weekend. The tour of the Chola temples will bring us face-to-face with some of the finest temple architectures India has ever produced.
The tour will cover three UNESCO-nominated Great Chola Living Temples – the eleventh- and twelfth-century Brihadisvara Temple at Thanjavur, the Brihadisvara Temple at Gangaikondacholapuram and the Airavatesvara Temple at Darasuram. The grand structures are home to paintings, sculptures and inscriptions of immense historical value.
Details about the trip and ticket requirements are here.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
