The Art Gallery in Thanjavur



The watch tower at Tanjore

Statue of Rajah Serfoji, a Maratha King. The Marathas ruled from Tanjore from 1777 to 1855 AD. Rajah Serfoji made big contributions to arts. He collected numerous manuscripts, paintings, books and articrafts for his library. These can be seen at the Thanjavur Maharaja Serfoji's Saraswati Mahal Library.




The old stained glass window caught my eye, in need of repairs and a fresh lease on life!
