It is a thousand year old temple built by Raja Raja Chola1, it's beauty, presence , architecture takes the breath away.It needs to be visited early morning when the Sun is not too hot and one should take time to enjoy all it's various temples, architecture, attention to detail.I have been many times and hope to go again. Each time I come away even more in awe.

A free world heritage site that is so worth the trip to Thanjavur. Stayed at the Lotus Hotel, walked to the temple to get my exercise both in the early a.m. and at dusk ... easy to locate by following the road signs. No rules about "Non-Hindus" not allowed in the temple. Shoe check in was easy and hassle free. Cameras allowed except in the innermost part of the temple. People there were mellow and friendly. By chance, we were there for an evening dance festival. Amazing! Will go down as one of our top India experiences. The Chola dynasty has always had a special place in my heart and mind. Initially, the historical data on site said this was a bhakti religious center. Was moved to be there.

It is worth having a guide and spending some time here. Best time is early evening when the sun is low as the colour of the stone is at its best. Very non-Hindu friendly - for 10 rupees you can receive a blessing - and a banana!

This great temple is also called Thanjai Peruvudaiyar Kovil. This belongs to Chola dynasty, it is one of the largest temples, and it is also a very very valuable architectural site. This was built by King Raja Raja Chola. First of all, let me tell you this. People who are fit, who can walk a lot, will find it more convenient to roam around the huge praakarams and visit all lords. There is a very very big Nandhi, carved out of a single rock, measuring about 15' in height and 16-17' in length. The entire temple has been made of granite. Moolavar is Lord Shiva, who is also around 13' in height. And the ambal Brihannayaki is also big, measuring 9' in height.one has to really walk a lot, even to circulambulate the temple once, and also has to climb so many steps. There is a very powerful Varahi amman sannidhi, and it is always believed that Varahi settles all property related issues and problems. Even Dakshinamurthy, Surya, Chandra......everything is huge. This is a very rare temple, which has the idols of Guardians of directions...........Indra, Yama, Agni, Nirrti, Kubera and Ishana..........for each of them, there is a life sized 6' statue. The gopuram is also very very tall, and there is a belief that it is sooooo high that it's shade never falls on ground. Trichy is the closest, which is about 60 kms by road. You can go to Thanjavur by train also. In 1954, Reserve Bank of India released 1000rs. Currency notes to honour this great temple, with its picture on the currency. This great Brihadeeshwarar temple was built in the 11 th century and it is called the Big Temple too, and that name is very very apt.

The sheer size and the intricacy of the architecture. Apart from that, the fact geometric precision of the placement of the kalasam, which does not allow its shadow to land on the ground.
