Gangai Konda Cholapuram at Jeyamkondan

கங்கைகொண்ட சோழபுரம், ஜெயம்கொண்டான்

I and my TATA ELXSI friends went for our colleague-cum-friend Manickam's marriage at Trichy. We planned to visit Gangai Konda Cholapuram. It is one of the Great Living Cholas Temples and UNESCO World Heritage Sites. This temple was erected by Rajendra Chola to commemorate his victory over the Pala Dynasty (in northern India in the region of River Ganges). It is said that he brought Ganga River and purified the area of that temple.
