Sri Rajarajecharam Temple / Thanjavur Brihadeeswarar Temple / Thanjavur Periya Kovil, Paintings, Ponniyin Selvan Meet 2015, Thanjavur District, Tamil Nadu.

The Nayaka’s period paintings are done on the granite stone wall. To prepare the surface a thick coat of lime mortar mixed with sand was applied. On that,t a second coat of lime mortar was applied and made the surface smooth.  Chozha period drawings are ‘Presco’ style, whereas Nayak's period drawings are of “Tempra" style.

During the Second Saraboji king period drawings were painted on the Periyanayagi Amman Sannadhi Mandapa ceiling. In that One lady is dancing and Thanjai Nalvar Chinnaya, Ponnaya, Sivanandha and Vadivelu are watching with thalam. They are the Hindustani music teachers and brothers too. 
  


During the Shivaji Raja Period, the Maratha King's drawings were painted in Mallappa Nayaka mandapam  ( Opposite Sri Subramaniar Sannadhi ). In Vinayagar sannidhi mandapam we can see the faded paintings also.

The second part of the drawings is from Varunan sannadhi to Somaraja Sannadhi on the outer corridor. The important paintings are  Gajalakshmi,  Narathar worshiping Saraswathy, Ganapathy on his vahana Moonchuru, with his concerts on both sides, Murugan on his vahana Peacock with his consorts, Thiruvarur Thiyagarajar worship by Andhanars, 64 Thiruvilayadal Purana stories, etc,.

பாம்பு உடலை வளைத்து நகரத்துக்கு எல்லைகட்ட நடுவே கடம்ப மரம், பொற்றாமரை குளம், சொக்கலிங்கமூர்த்தி, அங்கயற்கண்ணி ஆகியோர் திருவுருவங்கள் காட்டப்பெற்றுள்ளன.








தயிரன்னம் பெருகிவர அன்னகுழி சதுரமாகத் திகழ  பின்புலத்தில் அன்ன உருண்டையை உண்ணும் பூதத்தின் காட்சி காட்டப்பெற்றுள்ளது. கங்கை நதியாக ( வையை நதியாக) பெருகிவந்த நீரை இருகைகளாலும் பற்றிக் குடிக்கும் பூதத்தின் கட்சி பிரதானமாக திகழ்கிறது.
