gangai konda cholapuram
GangaikondaCholapuram was established as the capital city of Cholan empire by the great Chola empire Rajendra Chola I ( AD 1012–1044 ). The great temple Brihadisvara at GangaikondaCholapuram, is next only to the great Chola monument Brihadisvara temple at Thanjavur.
Gangaikondacholapuram means " the town of Chola who conquered Ganga". Apart from the magnificent Brihadiswara ( Brihadisvara ) temple at GangaikondaCholapuram, there are few more intresting places to see around the temple. People who may love the history may visit Maligai medu ( which is hardly popular and hardly heard about ) and the Museum which is located near the temple.
Brihadisvara Temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva and can be seen from a distance because of its enormous 55m high vimana and said to be enshrining the largest Shiva Lingam. Rajendra Chola I built this temple in AD 1025.
