Brihadisvara Temple in Thanjavur, India The temple has a massive colonnaded prakara (corridor) and one of the largest Shiva lingas in India.


Another interesting fact about its architecture is that the vimana (tower above the sanctum sanctorum) of the temple does not cast a shadow at noon! The temple is fully made of granite and has Chola frescoes on its walls, portraying various facets of Lord Shiva.
