Gangaikondacholapuram Temple

Gaze upon the timeless beauty of Brihadisvara Temple at Gangaikonda Cholapuram near Ariyalur district of Tamilnadu— a testament to ancient grandeur and architectural mastery!

The temple lies within a walled complex and the scenic green landscape adds to its charm. The visitors are greeted by a massive Nandi Bull statue, positioned to face the temple.

Built in the 11th century by Chola King Rajendra Chola, the Gangaikonda Cholapuram Temple honors Lord Shiva. It’s among the grandest Chola temples, celebrating Rajendra Chola I’s victorious march to the Ganga River. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Gangaikonda Cholapuram Temple is smaller than its Thanjavur counterpart (Brihadeeswara Temple in Thanjavur) but equally magnificent.
