The Brhadisvara temple also known as the Rajarajesvara temple built by Raja Raja I in 1010 A.D. has been acclaimed as the finest achievement of Chola art.  The present volume on the Architecture of the Brhadisvara temple is the first of tecnical monographs.  It is only appropriate that the architectural plan of the monument should precede the other studies relating to inscriptions, sculptural progrmame on inner and outerwall, murals in the garbhagrha, kararas on the upper storeys, inscriptions and much else.  A standard code has been devised to that all subsequent studies will follow the same code.  It is the monument which provides centrality to the region and constitute the steel frame for further studies on other aspects.
