Thanjavur Royal Palace and Museum in Thanjavur — view 2
The Thanjavur Royal Palace and Museum is a sprawling complex that served as the residence of the Maratha kings from the 16th century onwards, featuring distinct architectural styles that blend Indo-Saracenic and Dravidian elements. Visitors arrive at the palace to find impressive courtyards, the great hall, and an extensive collection of artifacts, including Tanjore paintings and ancient weaponry. Plan for at least an hour to explore the various galleries and the museum, which is home to a wealth of history. The palace is located near the Brihadeeswarar Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage site, making it easy to visit both in one trip. Look out for the intricate carvings and frescoes that reflect the region's artistic heritage.
