How long did it take to build Tanjore temple?
The Big Temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva and was constructed by Chola King Rajaraja Chola 1 during his reign from 985-1012 A.D. The temple took about 15 years to complete and is an example of unique Chola architecture. UNESCO has declared it as a World Heritage Monument.
Why Thanjavur temple has no shadow?
And interestingly, the temple tower or the Gopuram or the Vimana is constructed in such a manner that its shadow disappears at noon. This happens because the base of the Vimana is bigger than its pinnacle. Hence at noon, the shadow of the temple tower gets merged on itself and not on the ground.
