The Brihadeshwarar temple was built to grace the throne of the Chola empire by the Tamil emperor Arulmozhivarman, popularly called Rajaraja Chola I, in compliance to a command given to him in a dream.[6] One of the first great Tamil Chola building projects, the temple's foundations were laid out in 1002 CE.[8] An axial and symmetrical geometry rules the temple layout.[9]
Temples from this period and the following two centuries are an
expression of the Tamilars (Chola) wealth, power and artistic expertise.
The emergence of such features as the multifaceted columns with projecting square capitals signal the arrival of the new Chola style.[10]

Beauties of Thanjavur -- Friendship
True friendship multiplies the good in life and divides its evils. Strive to have friends, for life without friends is like life on a desert island... to find one real friend in a lifetime is good fortune; to keep him is a blessing. Don't walk behind me; I may not lead.
A Strong Friendship doesn't need daily conversation
