BRAHADEESWARAR TEMPLE
Sri Brahadeeswarar Temple (Saivite), is the most ambitious and popular
temple, constructed by large blocks of granite. The God Siva in a Lingam form
is placed in the sanctum sanctorum of the temple. The pyramidal structure of
Vimana, 14 storeys’ raised to a height of 216 feet is visible from all sides in the
small pillars, balcony, windows and beautiful images carved there on. It enchants
the minds and eyes of all spectators and pilgrims. It was a colossal task; the
plinth of central shrine is 45.72 sq.m and the shrine proper is 30.48 sq.m.
The most striking feature of this shrine is its imposing Vimanam which
rises perpendicularly from a square base to a height of 60.96 m. The stone
carrying the huge ‘Sikara’ is said to weigh 81.28 tonnes and was raised to its
present height by being dragged on an inclined place of 6.44 kms length. The
height of the Kalasa placed on this stupa is about 4 m. The Kalasa is made of
3083 palam and 9249 tolas of copper and covered with gold plates. The Big
Bull (Nandi) opposite to sanctum sanctorum, made up of a single stone is about 2
m height, 6 m length and 2.5 m width and roughly about 20 tonnes weighs.
The presiding deity, the Sivalinga, is 7 meter high. The priests have to use
a ladder for Abhishegams (i.e. for pouring libations on Sivalinga).
