[edit] Nandi

The Nandi weighs 27 tonnes and is probably the largest in the world and said to be installed later in the 16th Century.

I think the Nandi in Mysore is bigger than this one. --202.141.25.92 05:18, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Nandi in Gangaikondacholapuram is said to bigger than Tanjore nandi. Praveen 20:44, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Crown

In the wikipedia site the following is said

"The 'Shikharam' (crown) of Brihadeswara temple is itself very large and heavy (81.25 tons) and has been carved out of a single stone"

According to the Archaelogocal society of India (ASI), this is not true. They have evidence that suggest the crown was made from many stones. We need somebody from ASI to contribute to this site
