In our tour of State of Tamil Nadu from Thanjavur we traveled to Tiruchirappalli more popularly known as Trichy. As for 16th century a rock inscription Tiruchirappalli is mentioned as Tiru-ssila-palli meaning "Holy Rock Town" in Tamil language.
The city was under the control of several dynasties Cholas, Pandyas, Pallavas, Sultanate, Vijayanagar and Nayak in the olden days. The places of interest that I have seen here are:
Another important town close to this place is the island temple town of Srirangam.

Lovely images from Trichy - a city with great history !
Good one...I've seen this place...:-)
Lots of history there, and interesting architecture.
That's amazing shots on the view of Tiruchi!
Beautiful imagery. Love the top right image in the collage, as one can see the bird flying in the sky, giving the image a sense of height.;)

Awesome! Will be revisiting Trichy in two weeks time.
It looks to be a very large city! With not only Hindu temples but a Catholic church...how do you find your way around in such a place?
Lovely photos of fascinating places!
Makes a lovely mosaic. Lourdes Church doesn't sound like it belongs there.
Another great tour. Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Very interesting and beautiful place.
What a fascinating and beautiful place, Rajesh! Your photos are superb as always. I really love the last shot with the temple against those blue, blue skies! Have a great week!

Another amazing place, there's so much history where you live.
The history of Canada is very young in comparison to India and so an ancient city that has been through several dynasties is fascinating.
Love that white temple in the last shot! Very eye-catching.
Such an ancient place, seemingly bursting with history judging by your photos. I assume the holy rock is that visible in the lower left of your photo-mosaic.
No doubt an impressive number of good photos, the beauty of India is inexhaustible.
Full of white buildings/houses/temples from that overlooking view. Wonderful sceneries.
interesting history!
