Thanjavur is not decorative context. It is part of what we believe.
This city was the capital of the Chola empire between the ninth and thirteenth centuries. The Brihadeeswarar Temple was built here a thousand years ago and still stands. The Saraswathi Mahal Library, one of the oldest in Asia, holds more than sixty thousand manuscripts. Tanjore painting, Chola bronze casting, and Carnatic music were born or perfected in these streets.
A Thanjavur engineer knows what it is to participate in work that will still be standing when the builders are forgotten. That is the standard we hold our code to.
