Detailed Solution

The Thanjavur district is known as "The Rice Bowl of Tamil Nadu '' because of the agricultural activities that take place there in the Cauvery River delta. The temple, culture, and architecture of Thanjavur are well-known. Thanjavur, the most important city in the Chola Empire, served as its capital until Gangaikonda Cholapuram was developed in or about 1025. The Brihadeeswarar Temple at Thanjavur was constructed in the first decade of the eleventh century by Raja Raja Chola I, a Chola king (985–1014). The Tanjore painting tradition is one of this area's most cherished creative traditions. It is also well known for being the origin of the Thavil, a percussion instrument used in Indian classical music. It is recognised as the cultural hub of Tamil Nadu and is well-known for its top-notch handicrafts and ancient temples.
