About Thanjavur
Thanjavur is the Rice Bowl of Tamil Nadu — together with Tiruvarur, the two districts produce roughly half of TN's delta rice. ~70% of the population works in agriculture and allied activities. Beyond paddy, Thanjavur anchors three GI-tagged craft traditions: Swamimalai Bronze Icons (~1,200 sthapathi artisans), Thanjavur Paintings, and Thanjavur dolls.
