     Brahadeshwara Temple  Campus

The shrines have rising pyramidal towers crowned with domical roofs. The walls are embellished with the sculptures and paintings. The bronze sculptures and stone Temples of this period are one of the finest in the whole of the south India. The big Temple at Thanjavur which is known as Brahadeshwara Temple is within a huge compound with walls rising above 15m. The Temple is made over a 29m square base and has a soaring vimana and a stunning gopuram. The inner sanctum and the gopuram were constructed over a period of 6 years. A huge statue of Nandi measuring 6m length and 3.7 in height faces the sanctum. The statue of Nandi was created from a single rock piece and weighs 25 tones. It is in fact one of the largest statues of Nandi bulls in India. The Temple also has a spacious ground, number of pillared halls, shrines and 250 lingams.
