We know about the #praditional rice_saves of the ancestors. Charcoal Chola was the king who taught how to use agriculture sparingly and smoothly by building a #tomb across the river on the western boundary of Thanjavur district on the #Kaviri_rove, which overflowed two thousand years ago.
Chola Nadu is the country where #elephant_elected_elephant, because it is not enough to fight with cows. According to the proverb of Cholanadu Chorudaittu, farmers are cultivating paddy in all the three districts of Thanjavur. That is why Thanjavur is revered as a granary.
# Not only the temples of that time, but also the warehouses for storing grains and seeds for use in times of famine still testify to the technical knowledge of our ancestors today.
# Thanjavur_District Farmers' houses may or may not have a seating area, but every farmer's house has grain storage vessels called horses and pots.
#In the region_when going to see the groom for the wedding the house still has grain horses, paddocks, and hay battles and the family is still comfortable guessing how the future is planned and engaging in give and take accordingly.
500 years ago a huge granary like this was set up at #Palaivanathar_Temple at #Papanasam_Near_Thiruppalathurai.
Considered to be the largest granary in #Asia, it is 36 feet high and 84 feet in circumference. The base is circular and the top is conical.
It can store 90 thousand kg of grain. This granary is still an example of the storage capacity of the Tamils without any damage.
In the northern Thiruvaiyaru region of Thanjavur, the five major rivers, the Cauvery, the Kollidam, the Kudamurutty, the Vettaru and the Vennaru, overflow and enrich agriculture throughout the year.
If the paddy grown in #Thanjavur_ area is still being shipped across Tamil Nadu and there is no shortage of food, it is not superfluous if it is due to the hard work of the farmers of Thanjavur district and the planned water management of the kings.
Boards one or one and a half feet wide and four or five feet long are square or rectangular in box (this is called a pan) and the square boxes are stacked one on top of the other (four or five pans) to form a tall containerDepending on the capacity, they can store up to twenty-five bundles or up to fifty bundles (70 kg per bundle).
