बृहदेश्वर मंदिर के 80 टन का पत्थर का रहस्य | Unsolved Mystery Behind Brihadeeswara Temple

The Brihadisvara Temple was built under Raja Raja Chola, a Chola emperor ruling over ancient Tamil Nadu, parts of what is now Sri Lanka, and much of what was Malaya from 985 to 1014 AD. A vision for the temple came to him in a dream while visiting Ceylon (Sri Lanka), and he ordered it built in honor of his reign, which was seen as a victorious one needing a grand temple to match the large size of the empire. At 216 feet at its highest point and carved completely of granite, it took 12 years to complete. It was finished in 1011 AD and is dedicated to Shiva.
