    The Britannica Encyclopaedia enlists the Serfoji Sarasvati Mahal Library in Thanjavaur, Tamil Nadu India, as 'the most remarkable library of India'. Dating back to the 16th-17th century, it was stablished by the Nayak rulers of Thanjavur and later nurtured by the Maratha king Serfoji II, who was also one of the most prominent rulers of the land.

    In mid 1800s, time came when the king was required to hand over his assets to the British. However Serfoji was able to convince the British not to destroy the library or to send the library items back to Britain and so the ancient library got saved.

    Thanks to the king, the library is not only one of the few ancient ones that are still there in the world, but also a well-stocked one. Not just books, the library boasts a large collection of historical art, paintings, maps and manuscripts etc all of which are also being stored and made available digitally by the Government

    Its an absolutely wonderful place to visit. The architecture and the art work is amazing! Definitely worth a visit if you're in this town.

    Appreciate the wonderful ceiling work. Its quite well maintained and transport to get here shouldn't be an issue.
