The vimana of the Brihadeeswarar temple rises about 66 metres. The capstone is often said to weigh around 80 tonnes, and how it was raised is still debated. What explanations have you read? #templearchitecture #chola #thanjavur

Beautifully explained, thank you.
I visited last year. It is even more stunning in person.
Do you have a source for this? Would love to read more.
