Description
The Brhadisvara temple also known as the Rajarajesvara temple built by Raja Raja1 in 1010 A.D. has been acclaimed as the finest achievement of Chola art. The present volume on the architecture of the Brhadisvara temple is the first of technical monographs. The architectural plan of the monument precede the other studies relating to inscriptions on inner and outer wall, in the garbhagrbha, karanas on the upper storeys. A standard code has been devised so that all the subsequent studies will follow the same code. It is the monument which provides centrality to the region and constitute the steel frame for further studies on other aspects.
