My first journey to Tanjore – II

Continuation of the part – I, that is my first day in Tanjore.

Around 10:30 of an excellent day, I woke up by the sound of knocked door. One of us came and intimate clock clicked 10:30, oh my God, we have to get ready as soon as possible, and we finished all the routine work and got ready around 12:30. It was time for lunch. Tanjore is the native place for one of us; so we had a plan to visit his home and all the family members.

We roamed some places in Tanjore and went to a Hotel called “Coffee Palace”; the hotel belongs to the family of that Tanjore native person. We had a nice lunch, good south Indian meals with sweet. Again we started to roam more street and reached his home. His mother welcomed us with pleasure. We had a nice coffee and met all the family members.

We went to the palace in Tanjore; it was so big and had a chance to look some ancient culture materials. We took some pictures and had great experience there.

Around 15:30 of the same day, we started to visit the famous BIG TEMPLE in Tanjore, it almost 15 minutes walk-able distance from his home, but due to time constraint we went there by vehicle. The big walls and doors are welcomed us with pleasant. It almost the time for the sun’s heat getting slow down. There are so many historical things about that temple. We had a great time there and sat in the garden of the temple and took some pictures.

It was around 17:30 when we have to start to reach the hotel. We booked the train ticket from Trichy to Chennai, so we would have to reach Trichy station before 21:30 of the same day. We took another train from Tanjore to Trichy and travelled in unreserved bogie. Since its easy and fastest way to reach Trichy station from Tanjore via train.

Around 21:30 of same excellent day, we reached the Trichy station and enquired about the platform and train details. Train has arrived around 22:00; we got settled in our seat which was allocated to us. We had some dosa and poori as our dinner. It was around 23:30 we started to sleep. Train reached Chennai city around 05:30 of the next day. Each of us went back to our normal routine work again.

I cannot forget those wonderful days in my life ever, nice place and great experience in SASTRA and BIG TEMPLE.
