Summary
[edit]
| Description |
Thanjavur brihadeesvara Temple/Big Temple - the world's first granite temple. And one of the largest temples in India if not the largest. Built by Raja raja Cholan - the most noble of the ancient Tamil Dynasty called Cholas. RajaRaja ruled the south of india from 985 AD to 1014 AD, uniting three different kingdoms under him. He was the first Sailor king of India, and influenced much of the culture of Indonesia, Thailand and Singapore - Angkor Vat in Cambodia is built in the Dravidian style of temple building and was a result of Chola influence in these areas. This temple, besides being the first granite structure, is unique in the the shadow of the vimana or the pagoda never falls on the ground. |
