Brief About Tiruvarur District
Population : 11,69,474
Area : 2097.09 (Sq. Km.)
The District of Tiruvarur has been carved out as a separate district
due to trifurcation of Thanjavur District (of 1981 census). According
to this division, seven taluks
namely Kudavasal, Thiruvarur, Nannilam, Needamangalam,
Mannargudi, Thirutturaippundi and Valangaiman were detached from
the Thanjavur district to form this new district. At present also
this district is comprised of seven taluks and ten Community Development
Blocks.
Thanjavur attained prominence under the Chola
rulers who were paramount in South India during
the 9th to 12th centuries. They were excellent rulers and mighty
builders. Many examples are found in the district which bears testimony
to this. Many of these temples reflect the geniusness and architectural
proficiency in sculpture, painting and wood-carving.
The administration of Thanjavur (Tiruvarur) was given
over to English fully under the Treaty of 1799. The ruler of
Thanjavur was allowed to retain the fort of
Thanjavur with very limited powers. When the ruler died in 1841, without
heir, the Thanjavur fort
was also annexed by the British. Thanjavur remained under the British rule
until 1947 when India attained freedom
