Brihadeeshwara Temple
Thanjavur, India
The Brihadeeshwara Temple, a brilliant example of Dravidian architecture, stands majestically against a clear blue sky. Intricate carvings adorn the temple facade, depicting various deities and mythological scenes. Built during the Chola dynasty in the 11th century, it is dedicated to Lord Shiva. It is not only a UNESCO World Heritage Site but also a functional temple where worship and rituals still take place.
