As per the request of the devotees, the spiritual hymns were recited in Tamil to Emperor Raja Raja Cholan. The employees in the Thanjavur temple were offered new clothes today. As political personalities would soon arrive to pay their respects to Raja Raja Chola, Police are gathered in the temple premises for protection.
