There are lot of historical places around the city. And our focus was on visiting these places.
Some of these places that interested me and their distance from Kumbkonam are:

beautiful shots
Beautiful photos. Impressive designs.
What a beautiful city. I think you could stay a month or so and still not see all of the temples and historical sites. The place you stayed overnight is an awesome piece of architecture....more like are work. Your country amazes me more and more with each of your post I read and view. genie
To see this wonderful place and places nearby you need at least three days.
Beautiful pictures. I could not visit Kumakonam during my long stay at Chennai this year. May be I will cover it August/September. My intrests ar at Gaingaikondacholapuram, Darasuram and Tribhuvanam. Would try to cover them extensively.
Great pics, Rajesh:)
What beautiful architecture and superb paintings. Tanjavur paintings is a magnificent piece of art by itself. Awesome pics, Rajesh.
The temple in the Trichy picture reminds me of a temple in Thovalai. :)
This is another place which is in my wish-list! So beautiful are the carvings...intricate work.
Great shots, Rajesh! Thanks for sharing..
Thank you. This can be the base for seeing temples in and around.
