Thanjavur Maratha Palace – Royal Family’s Temple
A very
modest temple is located on the ground floor, inside the palace. This is the Chandramoulishwarar
Temple, which was constructed by the Achuthappa Nayak in 1589. The temple
has a lingam on the floor with two Nandhis (Sacred Bulls) in front.
Two
small decorated enclosures are kept with locked doors, suggesting some more
deities may be present inside them. Royal families held their worshiping
sessions here every morning.
