heya!!!!!

Brihadeshwara is the title referring Lord Shiva enshrined in the Tanjore Big Temple built by Raja Raja Chola I and consecrated more than a thousand years back in 1010 AD. Considered a marvel and a miracle in the history of temple construction, the temple houses a huge Shivaling in its sanctum justifying the name Brihadeeshwara (The all pervasive Lord)

The whole of the temple is constructed from granite stones. History says there is no granite quarry for about 50 kilometers around the temple and therefore the massive sized stones employed in the temple construction should have been brought from far off places. Especially even expert architects marvel at how the octagonal shaped cap stone weighing about 81 tons was lifted and placed on top of the hollow Shikara measuring 216 feet (66 metres).
