Brihadeeswara Temple, Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu

Summary

[edit]
Description

Le Vimana, haut de 70m, est de base carrée (c'est le symbole de la demeure des dieux : Mont Meru ou Kailash), il surmonte le sanctuaire de deux étages qui abrite un énorme Lingam. A doite, deux salles à piliers (mandapa) destinées aux fidèles

Le temple et ses dépendances occupent une surface de 241m par 121m. Les bâtiments sont entourés de murs coiffés de taureaux Nandi, la monture de Shiva. Comme dans tous les temples, on y entre par l'est en passant sous deux grands gopuram(s). L'intérieur du sanctuaire, toujours en activité, n'est qu'accessible aux hindous.

Le plan de ce temple s'inspire de la tradition Pallava (le temple du rivage de Mahabalipuram) www.flickr.com/photos/dalbera/13926429651/in/set-72157644...

Les grands temples vivants de la dynastie des Chola, classés sur la liste du patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO, datent des XIe et XIIe siècles, ce sont : le temple de Brihadisvara de Thanjavur, le temple de Brihadisvara de Gangaikondacholisvaram et le temple d’Airavatesvara (Airavateshwara) de Darasuram. Ils sont situés dans l'Etat du Tamil Nadu en Inde du sud.

Ces temples, caractéristiques de l'art dravidien médiéval tardif, témoignent des brillantes réalisations de l’ère Chola en architecture, peinture, sculpture et statuaire en bronze.

Le temple de Brihadishwara et la cité religieuse qui l'entoure ont été construits sous le règne de Rajaraja Ier (985-1014) qui a fondé l'empire Chola.
