Thanjai periya kovil [thanjavur big temple] or Brahadeeshwara temple was constructed by raja raja cholan. It is a massive temple built in the heart of the city of Thanjavur. It is a temple for lord shiva. A massive shiva linga which is about 16 feet tall is the main lord of the temple. Also an equally big Nandhi (Bull Ox) is also present at the temple entrance.
