The Brihadeeswarar temple.
Originally called as Peruvudaiyar Koil, is an ancient Hindu temple located at Thanjavur in the state of Tamil Nadu, India. This 10th century CE temple, part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site “Great Living Chola Temples”, is a brilliant example of the Dravidian style of temple architecture. The central temple known as the Periya Kovil (Big Temple) stands within a fort, whose walls were later additions built during the 16th century. The name periya kovil came from its original name “periya aavudayar kovil” (aavudayar being a local name of Lord Shiva). The vimana (main tower) of the temple is approximately 65 m (215 ft) high and is the tallest in the world. It was so designed that the vimana never casts a shadow at noon during any period of the year.

Sathiyan – The grandeur of this temple has to be seen to be believed. Such a huge structure with such intricate carvings. There is a series of carvings in this temple which are so minute that only a single strand of hair can pass through it. Hard to imagine that this huge temple was built at a time when there were no cranes and other mechanised operations. I was told that the central structure was built out of a single piece of granite.
@ Priya: Yes you are right. The central structure was built by a single granite piece.
