THIRUCHIRAPALLI

 THIRUCHIRAPALLI

 Two years ago , Me and my mom went to our relative's marriage in tiruchi and stayed there for a day to explore tiruchy.

                                     

THE PLACES WE VISIT:

1. THE ANCIENT DAM - KALLANAI

             We went to ancient dam- Kallanai build on Kaveri River by Chola king Karikalan in 2nd Century AD. I was amazed to see the build quality and architecture and wondered how they built such a dam in 2nd century AD.The way to Kallanai was lush green with Banana fields and Palm trees.

                            

2.RANGANATHASAMY TEMPLE 

                                  The main attraction of Trichy is the Ranganathswamy Temple located in Shrirangam, Trichy. Srirangam is situated on an riverine island. One have to cross a bridge on kaveri to reach this temple. The architecture is again wonderful. Ranganathswamy Temple is considered to be one of the largest hindu temple of the world. The inscriptions in the temple are supposed to be ancient and carved between 9th to 16th century AD by Cholas, Pandyas and Vijaynagar Dynasty.

                                     

3. THOUSAND PILLAR MANDAPAM

                     The temple has many mandapams, the Thousand pillar mandapam is the main attraction which is made up of granite. It was structured in 1365AD during vijyanagar Dynasty. Other Mandapams include the Shesha Mandapam, Garuda Mandapam and Kili Mandapam (Hall of Parrot). There was a Lakshmi temple whose construction was under progress.

                      

As we stayed there just for one day we are able to see only these much places .
