9 reasons why the Brihadeeswara Temple in Tamil Nadu, is one of the greatest structures ever built.

1. The Mandir is built using the interlock method where no cement, plaster or adhesive was used between the stones. It has survived 1000 years and 6 earthquakes.

2. The Mandir tower at 216 feet was likely the tallest in the world at the time.

3. The other structures built using this method Big Ben and Leaning Tower of Pisa are tilting with time. The Mandir which is far older has zero degree inclination.

4. 130,000 tons of granite was used to build the Mandir which was transported by 3000 elephants from 60 kms away

5. The Mandir was constructed without digging the earth. There was no foundation dug for the Mandir!

6. The Kumbham at the top of the Mandir tower weighs 80 tons and is monolithic. Yes monolithic! Craved from a single stone

7. Several theories exist as to how the 80 ton stone piece got atop the 200+ feet tower. Some suggest the use of levitation technology, but the more plausible explaination seems to be the use of elephants to pull the stone piece across a nearly 6 km long ramp.

8. It is said that several underground passages exist below the Mandir, most of whichwere sealed off centuries ago. It is said that these underground passages were safety traps and exit points for the Cholas. Some souces put the count of these passages to 100

9. The Mandir is so remarkable that some people go the the extent of saying that it was built by aliens. There is nothing quite like the Brihadeeswara Mandir and there will never be something quite like it. Raja Raja Chola was a visionary. We must treasure this timeless marvel.

Le mot « Shiva » signifie « de bon augure », « Maha » signifie « grand », et « Ratri » signifie « nuit ». C’est une nuit propice où les planètes sont alignées de manière à générer un puissant flux d’énergie naturelle à travers le corps humain.
Les hindous se rendent dans les temples dédiés à Shiva pour effectuer un rituel d’offrande au Shiva-lingam. On croit que Shiva se révèle sous sa forme d’un « Jyotir Lingam » ou Lingam de lumière.
Le jeûne et la veille pendant cette nuit sont également considérés bénéfiques pour le corps et l’éveil spirituel.
Mahashivaratri est célébrée avec enthousiasme dans tout le pays.
En somme, Mahashivaratri est une nuit de dévotion, de purification et de célébration en l’honneur de Shiva.
