Seven Wonders Of India: Thanjavur in Tamil Nadu is one of the most important world heritage sites. It is home to the most ambitious granite monument of the world. Watch full show: www.ndtv.com/video/player/seve...
Why isn't this one of the seven wonders of the world?? What a monument of dedication and conviction. This is unquestionably one of man's greatest engineering marvels...
I think it is better if it remains unknown like this. Once it becomes noted as a wonder or anything then the number of tourists will increase and it will damage the temple and it's sanctity. People who know about it will come visit no matter what. So better it stays like this
Very beautiful temple I have been several times to this beautiful temple since my young age now I'm 58. Very recently I have been there very nice temple. I'm from tamil nadu and thanjavur region I'm very proud that I'm from this part of India
I am really stunned of Chola BIG TEMPLE, what a massive and nice Architecture that too in INDIA. The top crown is 80 Ton (Do you believe it), I am really wondering how they lifted and placed it there without much equipment available during that period ( It was built around 1000 yrs back) I guess Chola temple is 100 times better than Taj Mahal. India gov is not projecting it.
I went I saw.. and also I was very much ill-treated by locals cz I cant speak Tamil.. I didnt go to stay there.. I was a tourist... so next time you are inviting anyone to get illtreated/misbehaved think twice sir
@@kaustabpaul4514 our country is known for hospitality but feeling bad when hearing abotu such incidents. Whether north or south east or west we are ONE INDIA. SORRY KAUSTAB for the worst feeling my state people gave you.
Epic in every sense....been there and stood in awe...to conceive and execute such perfection...we visit Dubai and other places for watching high rises towers...we hardly appreciate our own engineering marvels....
Ppl wonder y Tamils are so proud of Tamil? Height of Gopuraram - 247 ( total letters in tamil) Height of Shiva lingam - 12 feet ( uyir ezhuthu) Height of nandhi - 18 feet ( mei ezhuthu )
being proud is different and using Tamil as a national movement kind of thing is different... I visited Kanchipuram as I was very fond of south indian history & empires... I know Bengali, Hindi, English... dont know Tamil... A person cant learn every language... My worst experience was that no one was co-operating me cz I cant tell Tamil, even if they could help me in English... Everybody could see I am a tourist, but they are kind of forcing me to talk Tamil.... Now I think twice before going TamilNadu cz I am kind of like in a different world... I have visited Karnataka, Andhra also where local ppl talk in Telegu, Kannad that I cant speak, but they never did humiliated me but helped me guided me co-operated me.... I am not telling ppl should not cherish their own culture, heritage,,,, but its not a right way to behave with outsiders even if they admires your history culture... The way I was treated felt worst ever I was treated anywhere in India... !!!!!
@@kaustabpaul4514 sorry for this bro. Im from Maharashtra i was there in Chennai for two years and visited few places but never faced any problem and people were cooperative
M. I.P it is not about Tamil Telugu or Kannada.. this is a HINDU temple and hence ignored !! If it was a Muzlim structure, then our successive Khangress govts would have nominated this one instead of Taj Mahal.. very simple !!
@@kollywoodkingss5304 brother Mind your words. We are not begging North indians. I am saying why this temple is not considered as the world wonder instead of taj mahal?
Dear NDTV/Journalist: Thank you for sharing these types of heritage! Bec, in Sri Lanka, many Hindu temples have been intentionally destroyed... Well said: "It is home to the most ambitious granite monument of the world."
JP Abraham we Tamilians are proud to be a bharateeyan too.We all follow the same sanatan dharma which can accept god in any form .proud of being part of such a flexible dharma.Dont be part of break India factors
@JP Abraham buddy according to we indians tamil nadu is under india itself if am right...wat does we Tamils mean here???y r u seperating tamilnadu from india...never become narrow-minded bruh..we didnot create the natural wonders the ancients did
Just a polite request, please see the records which proves that Taj Mahal is also a real Indian architecture.......a probable Shiva temple older than it is said to be, defaced by....well, guess who!!!!
Temple was Constructed by Raja Raja Cholan Temple tower height of 216 feet ... 216 consonantal vowel characters in the Tamil ... Shiva Linga 12 feet tall ... 12 in Tamil Vowels .. ... Shiva Linga plinth 18 feet. 18 in Tamil consonants ...... ... The distance of 247 feet between civalinkattirkum Nandi. 247 total characters in the Tamil .... The Indus Valley civilization, which corresponds to the criteria used in the construction of the Temple is significant The temple was built using a measure of 1 3/8-inch called an angula (24 units equalling 33 inches called a hasta, muzam, or kishku). This is the same measure found in ancient Lothal and other sites in the Indus Valley dating back 4000 - 6000 years Reason for worlds first language still we r breathing our godess Thats cholas 😍 🙏🙏🙏வாழ்க சோழர்கள் புகழ் தமிழ் வாழ்க
I go there when ever I visit INDIA. I studied for 4 years when i was kid in karanthai near Tanjore. Some how I feel very peaceful mind when im in tanjore and in temple getting all old memories 35 years back
Its an unbelievable temple. 7 wonders of the world cannot be compared with this temple as this 7 wonders was built within 700 years. But this Big temple was built before 1020 years.
Nice videos n narration. Beautiful Tamil Nadu beautiful temple tanjavar our ancient kings people r very talented I want to visit this beautiful temple never seen so beautiful temple tks for beautiful videos that days without modern equipments they built beautiful temple.
Proud to be Indian than tamilian because everyone one in India has right to preserve our culture and temple.. unity is our strength.. now the temples in our country is destroy by unwanted people in our country.. idol are missing day to day.. eg.. our president is going to visit Australia for security reason.. Australian GOVERNMENT gift Sivan nataraja idol to our president... So save our temples as must as possible
You are first person of tamil ethnic background I am seeing who states that himself as Indian otherwise many of them claim to be Tamilian first and then Indian. Many times I have seen on social media like instagram if some page posts some Hindu temple of Tamilnadu then a Tamil person will post a comment "don't say India, it's tamilnadu or don't say Indian he is Tamilian"
Our south indian king Raja Raja chola who ruled modern day countries like Myanmar , Thailand cambodia , Leo's , Vietnam , Malaysia , Indonesia , Singapore , sir lanka , Maldives .
beautiful...proud to be from SI...will visit the temple again to see everything with a fresh new pair of eyes...earlier honestly it was a family trip and that had no meaning
@@anjanrajput8950 Islam forbids the portrayal of images; hence the simple designs seen in mosques and the Taj Mahal. The temples in the south portray real life with various art forms.
Blessing John Chelliah we talk about the technology which used here, which cannot be solved by today’s techified archies.. the kalasam on top has grains in it so that no shock from lightening can affect the temple structure..not only about architecture but also the science they used that’s why it stands 1000+ years. It is believed that Shahjahan cut the hands of the person who built Taj but The Kinja Raja Rajan have his name to the person who built this temple and it has been engraved on the temple. Nobility and humility of this man makes the temple big in our vision than a tomb. Even after 1000 years this has been a resource for so many people’s income he literally is feeding so many people even so many years after his death. That’s why this temple considered majestic wonder for us and the statements made on taj. If you know the history you yourself will get to know why we get emotional when it wasn’t given the respect it deserved.✌🏻Taj mahal is a scenic beauty but nothing much greater than that.Also after the acid rain Taj Mahal was stained to yellow but not this majestic, they engineered in such a way considering every disasters.
Lovely video. To be honest, I never know about Pichavaram mangrove forest, so thanks for letting us know and I believe it gonna be the fabulous place in Tamilnadu
@@edmundkemper1625 When the temple was built by Raja Raja chola, it was named as 'Peruvudayaar temple'.. Later, the brahmins, sanskritized the tamil word and changed it to Brihadeeswara temple...
@@sanrafaa mate, different sources say different things and majority says it is brihadesshwara that was named by the cholas, but what ever, the cholas patronised both sanskrit, tamil and even telugu, all these are proud indian languages so whatever names, all of these languages form the essence of indian culture and i am proud of them all, all of these are brotherly names so all of these names are valid, and yes as you rightly said this temple should stand tall and it will stand tall, it belongs to bharat and indians will protect this no matter what! Happy day!
@@edmundkemper1625 sorry mate... Try finding one stone inscription of sanskrit Or Telugu from the chola period.. You won't get... All are in tamil... Even the tirupati temple is of tamil inscriptions.. The politics is such that, the Govt. is hiding those tamil inscriptions to destroy the history of tamils and make the temple as such that it belongs to telugus... You don't know the bigger politics mate... I support every language and every people.. But when something injustice happens, I have to speak out openly.
@@sanrafaa unesco mentions that chola temples have both tamil and sanskrit inscriptions, a lot of TN temples have telugu inscriptions mate, the thing is the truth matters and people at that time valued all these languages equally and embraced it like they are part of one family, so if we try to seperate them its like seperating oneself from his family, but I also understand some fringe politicians who don't understand that all these languages are intricately related, tamil , telugu and other languages are literally the souls of hinduism and one should never pit oneself against another coz they represent the same thing, but as you rightly pointed out telugu gets cherished only if tamil wins and vice versa and same goes for sanskrit, if something happens to tamil then obviously it affects other state people because they are intricately related, so don't worry tamil will rise and all indians will support it because tamil's rise is india's rise , indians are not foolish enough to not realize this, tamilnadu is one of the few places that was protected from islamic attack and thus tamilnadu has the real indian culture intact don't worry a lot of north indians realize this and they won't let anything happen to this great land, tamil will rise, thus india will rise, i would say you need not worry about this because every indian has this thought 😀, jai hind!
The India and Indian media do not have a good record of Tamil Nadu's long history, Why the excavation of an ancient 2500 year old Tamil city Keeladi has not reached main stream media?
The Grandeur and the scale & magnificence you can only enjoy when you visit this World Heritage site! The stupendous architecture will capture the imagination of whoever comes in contact with it when they visit Thanjavur.. Also visit Kangaikonda Cholapuram & Dharasuram the other two World Heritage Monuments which are not far from Thanjavur!
You know the 7 wonders for example the name is called by Pisa tower the Pisa construction period has been taken by 177 years during the construction period that one titled and lean but our big temple 1000 decided 1003 the work was started 1009 The work was completed 1010 22 April The kumbavisega was conducted by KING OF MA MALLAN RAJA RAJA CHOLAN for public visit hardly taking 7 years only but our big temple there is no tilted and lean 100 percent 'O' dgree vimana throughout entire this world.
