Brihadeeswarar temple of Tanjavur, Tamizh Nadu has thousands of sculptures.  There are hundreds of sculptures which one cannot miss in this temple. But there are hundreds more which are small and tiny which can very easily be missed.

Brihadeeswarar temple was built by the greatest Tamizh King Raja Raja Chozhan I between 1003 and 1010 CE. This temple is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site known as the "Great Living Chola Temples" along with the Chola dynasty era Gangaikonda Cholapuram and Airavatesvara Temple. 

In this gallery I have posted only pictures that were taken in Portrait mode.

Since it is a World Heritage Site still photography is allowed! It is a protected monument and there is no entrance fee for this temple. It is important to know that backpack is not allowed inside the premises of this temple and hence carrying multiple lenses is a problem!
