Southern sorojun

click on pics to enlarge


Velankani is suituated along the coast of bay of bengal and is like 2 hours drive from tanjore, It houses the very famous st.Mary's bascilca which is a most sought christian pilgrim center. The beach has become more clean and green post tusnami.The tanjore big temple in tanjore is one architectural marvel of india. located well within the town once u get there you have no much activities to do but to marvel at the splendour, where the local crowd hang around especially during weekends mixed with foreigners greeting the local lassies and admiring at their mehendi clad hands. It looked more like a family gathering happening.



A single coconut tree braving the winds of the sea



A view of the church's steeple



The beautiful coastline



the view of the entire church



two girls and a couple enjoy their company in the noon sun



The gopuram of the big temple



the evening sun's rays bestow the gopuram



One of the corridors running all around the temple



An elephant to add to the fanfare



the sunset over the tanjore railway station



The beach again. indeed looks clean and green
