The Great Living Chola Temples
Finally covered the The Great Living Chola Temples as part of the GoUnesco challenge, which means, only Nilgiri Mountain Railway is left in Tamilnadu, which soon, hopefully! The route was simple: Banagalore-Hosur-Salem- Vridhachalam-Jeyankondam- Gangao_konda_Cholapuram- Dharasuram-Thanjavur . All done in one morning, around less than 7 hrs. Gangai Konda Cholapuram Built in the 11th century as a mark of the Chola King as mark of him conquering till Ganga, this still stands erect and invite people. And just after this, while waiting for a bus, got to taste for the first time in my life, Kambu Koozh , a porridge made of a millet, with added buttermilk and cluster_beans_fry , raw_mango_with_salt_&_chilli_ powder and green_chilli - was super awesome! Airavatesvara Temple, Dharasuram Built in the 12th Century by another Chola king, this is famous for it...
