उत्तर
- The temple consists of the Nandi mandapa, a pillared portico, and an assembly hall, all interconnected.
- The Maha-mandapa was originally three-storeyed. The top storey was an open terrace, with a row of Nandis placed on the top of its walls.
- Like the outer doorway, other outer entrances are also flanked by dwarapalas.
- The numerous Sanskrit and Tamil inscriptions on it are in fine calligraphy.
- Another imposing structure in the Temple is the Amman Temple housing Brihannayaki, the consort of Brihadeshwara. In brief, the Brihadeswara Temple is a repository of every branch of art-architecture, sculpture, painting, jewelry, dance, and music, etc.
