Trip to Trichy
I was invited to give a lecture at Trichy University and took the
chance to see some places around Trichy and Tanjavur. The big temple
in Tanjavur is quite impressive, but what I liked even more: The inner
court yard around the actual temple is huge -- so even if quite some
people are around it feels empty and quite. The nandi (bull) in front
of the temple is indeed huge and might well be the biggest one in
India as the guidebook said. The city and palace museum were rather
uninteresting, best thing th eview over the city.
