Shiva Temple

Shiva Temple, Gangaikonda Cholapuram, Tamil Nadu, India.

 

I just got back from India after spending three weeks there and hence my absence from Flickr activities. I will be posting my pictures from this trip soon. Here is a picture from my last trip in 2009. This Shiva Temple is the only remaining structure from this town that served as the capital of the Chola Empire during its most powerful times (circa 11th century AD). I love this temple as it is less crowded than others. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. I highly recommend a visit to this place if you happen to travel to this area.
