During my recent trip to India, I got special permission (with some influence) from Archaeological department and climbed upto the first level of the tower. The tower has cavity wall upto certain height, you can actually walk in between the two walls, there are sculputres of Bharatanatayam steps and ancient paintings. I will create a new thread and post some very rare pics (may be first in the internet) and interesting hidden information about tanjore big temple

Corporation plans to feed temple tank with water

Quote:
The Golden Lotus Tank in the Meenakshi Sundareswarar temple here will soon find a new source of water.

The Madurai Corporation has submitted a proposal to the temple authorities for laying a six-inch pipeline to the tank.

“The Corporation has asked the temple to share half the cost estimated at Rs. 24 lakh. We have asked them to send a report for the project,” said B. Raja, Joint Commissioner, Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Department, and Executive Officer of the temple. The details of the estimate, once obtained, would be placed before the Board of Trustees. Thereafter, the proposal would be sent to the Commissioner of HR and CE for approval.

The temple management has asked the civic body to supply water to ensure that at any point of time, the tank had one foot of water. This requires one lakh litres. At present, the tank has 6 inches of water. It can contain a maximum of three feet.
