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

Visited Belur and Halebidu this weekend. The soapstone carvings of the Hoysalas are unbelievably detailed. Every bracket figure is different. #hoysala #karnataka #templearchitecture
