Thanking you all..!!
As far as I know there is no place called Sadar Mahal Palace,Thanjavur as mentioned above.
I think it should be Saraswathi Mahaal Library, Palace grounds, Thanjavur.
From the time of installation of Sri Sankaranandendra Saraswathi swamigal (Later renamed as Sri Vijyendra Saraswathi swamigal) I shown interest on Paramachayal (then Maha Periyaval) visited Kochathanam seen photos. , read books, etc. But even after his siddhi , even after his centeneary now a days I am seeing many many many photos because of internet facility now.(61 years now I am). Ithu oru Maha acharyam.
This 2nd 1930s photograph encouraging me, (as I am searching for some 30s,40s, gramophone records for many years), as “still some rare materials for early years not yet reached public”. Even after many years it will come to public.
