Thanjavur Temple Tour

Big Temple & the temple city of Thanjavur

Thanjavur Temple Tour — Matha Call Taxi

Thanjavur — the ancient Chola capital — is home to one of the greatest temples ever built: the UNESCO World Heritage Brihadeeswarar Temple, or "Big Temple", raised by Raja Raja Chola over a thousand years ago. Around it, the city holds a cluster of revered Amman, Vishnu and Shiva shrines that make Thanjavur one of Tamil Nadu's finest temple destinations.

Matha Call Taxi runs a comfortable, guided Thanjavur temple tour — with an experienced local driver, pickup from anywhere in Thanjavur, Kumbakonam or Trichy, fixed fares, and all the time you need for darshan at each temple. Ideal as a relaxed half-day or full-day trip.
