Untitled
- later years, claimed the Chola Kingdom as his mother heritage and established a new dynasty at Thanjavur. The Western Chalukyas remained for the long the stubborn enemies of the Cholas. During the next three years, Rajarajan subdued Quilon and the northern kingdom of Kalinga, through his son Rajendra Cholan. Chola also simultaneously directed his arms against Ceylon. Rajarajan moved the capital from Anuradhapura to Polonnaruva and built here in memory of his mother
The etymology from thanjan+asura sounds very contrived. This much is clear - the correct dissection is: thanchai+oor. Does anyone have more (and more concrete) details? -- I had say the same too.. It seems too obvious that the 'oor' in the Thanjavur is a 'city'. Thanjai+oor seems proper etymology. Who came up with asura? and any citations? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.22.73.4 (talk) 01:15, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Further Editing
Words like 'agglomeration' can be replaced with simpler ones. "Entertainment and Cinema", "TV Channels" may merit their own page, or have some detail added here. I know 'Parveen' is 'Parveen Talkies', as are other halls. In the section on Agriculture, citations are needed for grain production and export with years. A photograph could show "Thanjavur Plates." There is a citation for 'Geographical Location' which seems unnecessary. There is text appended to the References Section that may need relocating. -- Betasam - Talk 14:48, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
External Links
Under "External Links", there is a link to Dr.S.R.J.College of Education. It should be moved to List of educational institutions in Thanjavur. I shall do this if there are no objections in 3 days. -- Betasam - Talk 17:42, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
Query: Changes to Passive Voice
I just noticed a series of edits switching to passive voice. The article was earlier corrected to be in active voice. Is there specific rationale behind this switch Ravi. I am asking as I didn't notice such an effort earlier. --Betasam - Talk 00:52, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
