Good morning to one and all present here.

Have you
heard of the living chola temple? The temple with no
shadow? Or have been built with the material that is
not native to the place? Well these are just some of the
facts about one of the oldest temples in India. Located
in the ancient town of tanjavur. The brihadeeswarar
temple is indeed a sight to behold! This temple is more
than just a religious stop. It is a destination of
mysteries, and spellbinding architecture. This temple is
built by the great raja raja cholan. This great man has
brought in Tamil into the architecture of building this
temple. The main god in this temple is lord Shiva.
Height of the main deity is 12 feet. Which is the
number of uyir ezhuthukkal in Tamil. The structural
base for the idol is 18 feet long which is the number of
Mei ezhuthukkal in Tamil. The distance between the
Sivan and the Nandi is 216 feet which is the number of
uyirmei ezhuthukkal in Tamil. The height of the temple
tower is 246 feet which is the total number letters in
Tamil. Many questions arise when people study in
detail about this temple. This temple is built up of
granite, but there are no granite hills in the 100km
radius. One more amazing thing about this temple is,
this temple has no shadow. This is because the temple
tower is shorter than the main storey of the temple,
thus making the temple have no shadow. Imagine how
talented and smart the people should be to make such
calculations and predictions. Hope you all enjoyed and
learnt something new about this wondrous
brihadeeswarar temple. Thank You.
