🌿 Exploring the Heritage of the Cholas – One Day Educational Field Visit 🌿 As part of our academic learning, we had the wonderful opportunity to embark on a one-day field visit covering the historic and culturally rich destinations of Thanjavur – Tharasuram – Anaikarai Dam – Gangaikonda Cholapuram on 30th September 2025. This educational journey offered us deep insights into the architectural brilliance of the Chola dynasty, the artistic excellence of Tamil culture, and the natural beauty of Tamil Nadu. ✨ Highlights of the Visit: 🏛️ Thanjavur – Witnessed the grandeur of the Brihadeeswarar Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a timeless example of Chola architecture. 🕉️ Tharasuram – Explored the Airavatesvara Temple, renowned for its intricate carvings and spiritual charm. 💧 Anaikarai Dam – Enjoyed a peaceful lunch surrounded by lush greenery and scenic beauty, appreciating the importance of water conservation. 🏯 Gangaikonda Cholapuram – Experienced the majestic legacy of Rajendra Chola I and the artistic refinement of Chola architecture. The visit not only enriched our understanding of heritage tourism and cultural preservation but also reminded us of the importance of safeguarding these magnificent monuments for future generations. A heartfelt thanks to our Department of Tourism and Hotel Management, faculty members, and everyone who made this trip an enriching experience! 🌸
