Black Friday is the Friday after Thanksgiving in the United States, which is the beginning of the traditional Christmas shopping season. The term dates back to at least 1966, although its usage was primarily on the East coast. The term has become more common in other parts of the country since 2000. Because Thanksgiving falls on the fourth Thursday in November in the United States, Black Friday occurs between the 22nd and the 29th of November.

Thanjavur Brihadeswara Temple Celebrates 1000 Years
The UNESCO World Heritage listed Brihadeswara Temple in Thanjavur, affectionately called the Big Temple by locals, is celebrating being 1000 years old this week. That's a lot of birthdays!
The Cholas built more than 70 temples in Thanjavur, but this one is the most outstanding. It's also one of the oldest temples dedicated to Lord Shvia in India.
This weekend, visitors will be treated to a mammoth cultural festival at the temple. The highlight, a dance spectacular featuring over 1000 artists, will take place this evening
