About Brihadeeswara Temple

Let me inform you that Lord Shiva is the highlight of the Brihadeeswara Temple, a Hindu temple. The Dravidian-style temple, also referred to as Thanjai Periya Kovil and Peruvudaiyar Kovil, is situated on the southern bank of the Cauvery River in Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu. In 1009 CE, Rajaraja-I of the Chola Dynasty constructed the Brihadeeswara Temple.

Additionally, viewers are made aware in the video that the temple is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Sravanya Rao Pittie asserts in the clip that King Rajaraja-I ordered the movement of more stones for the temple’s construction than for the Great Pyramids of Giza.

This video has received over 45,000 likes and over 8 lakh views. In the comment section, it sparked a discussion on legendary Indian wonders. Many people urged Mahindra to see Ponniyin Selvan: I, the new Mani Ratnam film that is set in a fictitious version of the Chola kingdom, in the comments section.

Some individuals called attention to the factual mistakes in the video Mahindra published, even though many others praised his efforts to spread awareness about cultural places. For instance, the Brihadeeswara Temple complex covers 44.7 acres, but the Taj Mahal is situated on 42 acres. Despite this, the narrator of the clip claims that the 200 Taj Mahals can fit within the Brihadeeswara Temple complex.
