Many treasures are buried under the earth. . Many wonders are hidden amongst the thick dense forests. Many lovely scenario are concealed by artificial landscapes. Many monuments are marked by insignificant edicts Many facts are shrouded by illegitimate corruptions. Many ambitions are suppressed by the financial resistance.
The temples built by the cholas are an illustrative structural evidence to this prescription. The cholas were lovers of art.
The temples bring in a new style of architecture. The building technique is fascinating. The workmanship is simply fabulous.The intricate designs, the carvings, the real to look deities are enthralling. The piety and the enrapture ,one experiences ,while entering the temples are so overwhelming. The serene atmosphere in the sanctum sanctorium is truly reverberating.This is as as far as the elegance and beauty of the temple.
Reverberation ultimately ensues revelation. The beautiul temples built by the cholas exhibit their skill, but covet the real intention behind such massive erections. The huge expenditure incurred shadows the valuabe instincts that directed to such workmanship.Values of life differ from one individual to another.

The contractual evidences that carry a blanket of faith and belief make the temples revel in glory .
The Chola Kings, made worth of their splendid wealth to wipe off their sins, to clear them of their transgressions, to eradicate their devilish impulses, to find a remedy for their wicked deedslike murders, usurpations, cheating refernces, immoral actions.The monumental establishments provide a feast to the eyes. But , the implicit faith people show seem to be incredible , and a little far fetched. The blind addiction is extraneous . A strange disbelief spurts outof my thought.It may be an odd derivative, but I cannot restrain my inner voice calling it absolutely farcical.
