Brihadeeshwara temple in Tanjavur, South India is an architectural master piece.
From the moment you enter the temple complex you're awe struck with the gigantic scale and exquisite sculptures carved out of stone and intricate artwork using natual paints.
Still remains the tallest temple tower at 216 ft after 1000 years.
The top rounded part you see is at the top of the tower is a single block of intricately carved stone that weighs 80 tonnes. I have no idea how they got it there. They say the ramp was over 6 km long
Definitely worth a visit if youre planning a trip down south.
Oh also, if houses one of the largest linghams on the planet.
