This is on the way to Thanjavur. If you're a temple aficionado then this is a must. We were not aficionados but found this temple very calming.

Along with brihadeeshwarar and airavateshwarar temple this gangaikonda cholapuram is one another exquisite architectural temple, which is also a UNESCO world heritage site.It is such a serene and calm place that we couldn't step out of the temple even after a long time being there, I felt something is special in this temple than any other. The green lawn adds an extraordinary beauty to this outstanding place

Gangaikondacholapuram was the capital of the Chola Empire at it zenith. Unfortunately, not much of it survives today. What does survive is this temple - a fantastic reminder of the greatness of Chola art and architecture. For some reason you have to take off your shoes to enter. Once you enter, you first come ot agiant bull statue. Immediately to its right is a well with a huge statue of a lion over it. There are couple of small temples on each side of the main temple. To enter the main temple, you will have to climb over a flight of stairs. The walls of the temple are intricately curved with numerous magnificent statues.

There was something very surreal about this place... I had first seen pictures of it on my then friend, now husband's FB page... As one of his wedding gifts, he took me to see it.. but sadly, but the time we got there it was already fast approaching dusk and most of the pictures that we had taken were not too clear with the poor lighting... I will post some pictures, so you can be the best judge..~ only one down side.. there was a dog that kept following us, my husband in particular and he joked that it was a Munivar in past life and it was trying to tell him something!!! Ugh!!

Its a really outstanding piece of Indian heritage - a well preserved temple of the great southern race, the Cholas. The signposting is average just as most such places are, in India. Read a book before you go! I went there because of the book "The Sceptical Patriot".Its currently not a primary temple for worship - which is good (less crowds).The temple is itself quite nice and the most attractive bit to me was the historical inscriptions on the side of the temple walls. I cannot read them but I would have loved to see a museum with the translations of the temple inscriptions.

A heritage site temple, so well-preserved and well worth visiting. We got there on a local bus from Kumbakonam - around 1.5 hours for a 35 km ride! The location is interesting - basically it's a local village which looks as you might expect with a glorious temple right behind it. We asked for directions to the toilet which turned out to be a field. Apparently, the authorities had been granted funding to build a toilet for visiting tourists but have, ahem, perhaps pocketed the money instead...

This is also among the UNESCO World Heritage Site list, the other being Big Temple and Darsuram. This is almost a replica of the Big Temple. The temple is easily accessible from Chidambaram.

The temple is a miniature Thanjavur Big temple. This is an excellent place to photograph... I travelled from Chennai in my way to Thanjavur.... Road is excellent... Except you should avoid, NH 45C..... the temple is surrounded by well maintained lawn..... So the heat of mid day sun does not impact a traveller.... You can easily spend half a day here....

Photos speaks more than words. See attached some of the photos. Not much of food options nearby. Not crowded much.
