How would we feel if we have lived for a 1000 years !!!! .. well , let alone 1000 how about a 100 year in perfect good health !!! That would be an exuberant feeling ! wouldn't it???
The Tanjore Brihasivara Temple has completed 1000 years in existence .The Temple was formally opened in the year 1010 by the great Tamil Emperor Rajaraja Chola in his 25th year of reign. This Temple is an architectural wonder and really a magnificent example of the Tamil especially the Chola dynasty's craftsmanship .
The Pyramids of the Pharaohs have always enchanted us because of their architectural brilliance and the workmanship , in the same The Tanjor Temple will just mystify us with its sheer grandeur and craftsmanship.The Tanjor Big Temple is India's answer to the Pyramids, Angkor Watt and the Pyramids of Incas !!!.
The Temple also called as Big Temple , it was damaged in a way that it would collapse itself ( this happened in the 19th century ), nothing shook this Great wonder and it is still standing stall .
The Temple Vimana is 216 feet and occupies an area of 750 feet by 400 feet is one of the finest wonder in India .The Temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva who is incarnated in the form of a Giant Lingam .This Temple is also a treasure trove of Chola Painting and Sculpture .The Topmost Stone weighing 80 tons has baffled all engineers on how it was positioned that is how it was possible to lift and place that on top without the help of any modern contrivances .
I still wonder how come this Great Monument is not among one of the wonders of the world,The Indian Government should realise the importance of this great monument and take every possible step to recognise The Big temple has one of the wonders of the world.
