Thanjavur Palace, India – 2014 HD

Contact us to Add Your Business

The original name of Thanjavur Palace is Sivaganga Fort, which is rarely used these days. If you observe carefully, there is even a small moat around it which provided security against enemy access. Often mistakenly called the "Thanjavur Maratha Palace" was not built by Maratha Kings, but by Thanjavur Nayaks. However, the Marathas made some enhancements to suit their needs. It is more popularly called "Thanjavur Aranmanai" by the people of Tamil Nadu. Today, the Thanjavur Palace Complex is a tourist attraction which houses 3 separate venues: the palace, the art gallery and a manuscript library (Saraswathi Mahal).

      @Saroja Krieg btw you are not specifically dravidian, as most indians share the similar genetic bases, Noble castes can have more Aryan DNA percentages but you are sharing the same genetics as other modern Indians, you aren’t specifically dravidian for example, maybe you share higher native Indian Vedic people DNA, but you aren’t too different from other indians in terms of genetics.

    Thanks for revealing such a beautiful palace dedicated and named after Lord Siva. You have removed some mistaken veliefs about Saraswathy Library. Indian History books and others by foreigners should be told about this through Heritage India, otherwise mistakes will be permanent. WE visit Brihadishwara Koil, I never heard oof such a beauty. Keep up the good work and cleanliness. This place deserves permanent adoption as Heritage India Property. Thanks

    Excellent Video !!! Very Informative.. there is NO doubt that the brutal & fanatic Islamic Mughal rule in India faced stiff resistance at different periods from the great RAJPUT warriors, fierce AHOM warriors from Assam & from Punjab the brave SIKH warriors…India’s strength lies in Unity in Diversity. Rightly did the great Hindi Poet Bhushana, who forsook the royal favours of the Mughal court to come over to Shivaji to record his glories, he sang :-“काशी की कला जाती, मथुरा की मसजीद बनती, अगर शिवाजी ना होते तो सबकी सुन्नत होती.”
    meaning : (Had not there been Shivaji, Kashi would have lost its culture,Mathura would have been turned into a mosque and all would have been circumcised.)
    If not for Shivaji and the Marathas, there would have existed a continuous Islamic belt from Morocco to Indonesia. What addition of 1 billion more adherents to Islam would have done to the world power balance or what would have happened to Indian legacy like yoga, ayurveda, music, art and philosophy, is not difficult to guess….
    It is worthwhile examining the ‘what if’ of Indias history, Aurengzeb, Akbars great great grandson, had embarked on the ‘Islamisation’ of India. The Marathas, inspired by Shivaji, fought Aurengzeb and saved India from following the fate of Persia. The proof of Maratha victory lies in the fact that Aurengzeb lies buried, not in Lahore /Delhi or Agra , but near Aurangabad in good old Maharashtra…
    Indian history before Shivaji’s advent reads like a chronicle of military disasters. Shivaji changed all that. He used Guerilla Tactics very effectively. Shivaji, as a great warrior & visionary laid a strong and solid foundation that after his death in 1680, there was a series of battles fought between Marathas and Mughals from 1681 to 1707 known as ‘War of 27 years’ and ended with the death of Aurangzeb in 1707. The Marathas eventually emerged victorious and consolidated their lost territories. This was further expanded by the Peshwas. The Maratha empire reached its peak in summer of 1758 with the conquest of Attock, which is banks of Indus river in Pakistan today. Its eastern frontier was today’s Orissa, being ruled by Raghuji Bhosale of Nagpur. Maratha armies had also reached upto Murshidabad, but then retreated and settled for tribute from Bengal and control of Orissa. To the south, in 1758, territories upto the fort of Gurramkonda in Kadappah district were held. Also, Tanjore (Thanjavur) was under Marathas, but that was a different line. In 1761, the PANIPAT war was lost to the Afghans but Marathas RECOVERED quickly like phoenix bird within 10 years and brought the whole of North Indian again under their control during the 1770’s under leadership of Madhavrao Peshwa..
    Eventually, the Marathas grew stronger and fought the British in three Anglo–Maratha Wars (1775–82, 1803–05, 1817–18), In the First Anglo-Maratha War (1775–1782) the Marathas emerged Victorious. A Vijay Stambh (Victory Pillar) erected to commemorate Maratha victory over British is located at Vadgaon/Wadgaon Maval, close to the city of Pune. The 2nd and 3rd were subsequently lost and British established themselves which was followed by the Uprising of 1857 .
    (By the way, just for your G.K, Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is also considered as the ‘Father of the Indian Navy’ AND Apart from Jijabai, 2 well known Women personalities emerging from the Maratha empire were Devi AHILYABAI HOLKAR and RANI LAXMIBAI of Jhansi also known as Manikarnika.)
    Hearty Salute to the sacrifice made by our Great Sikhs, Rajputs, Marathas and Ahom warriors for standing up to brutality and defending Mother India !
    Jai HIND !!! VANDE MATARAAM !! VANDE MATARAAM !! VANDE MATARAAM !! VANDE MATARAAM !! VANDE MATARAAM !!
