Amazing click by @aerial_holic #Tanjore Big temple as one of the Oldest World’s Heritage. They nest the marvel under the “Great Living Chola Temples”. #AiravateeswararTemple and the #GangaikondaCholapuramTemple in #TamilNadu were also declared as one of the greatest heritage monuments. The temple is built up to a height of 216 feet and the temple is carved out of granite stones which weigh about 130,000 tons. The wondering aspect about this temple architecture is the technology used behind it. The entire temple is made by the method of interlocking stones, in which one rock is kept over the other without using the joint mortars and in some cases, they have used lime mortar for binding of rock pieces. The vast foundation of the temple is made without excavating the earth with a single grain of sand and yet the temple stands in its position and hence it is named as Big Temple. The temple is made with absolute zero degree inclination which makes the temple stand straight for more than 1000 years. Another architectural marvel of the Raja Gopuram is the shadow of the whole gopuram never falls on the ground. This excellent construction done during the historic period is considered as geometrically perfect since it was constructed late 1000s of years ago. The perfect balance and construction technique which made the temple to stand against natural calamities. #brihadeeswarartemple #southindiatemple #indiantemples #indiantemplearchitecture #temple #southindiatourism #nanditemple #indiatourism #indiantravelblogger #tamilnadutourism #thanjavurtemple #thanjavurtamilnadu #southindia #southindiatravel #tamilnadutemples #incredibleindia #createwithsrishti #dronesofindia #dronesofinstagram #tamilnaduphotography #instagram
