| Content Provider | IGNCA - Brihadiswara Temple |
|---|---|
| Description | The outer face of the North wall of the temple enclosure bears five inscriptions, one of Kulottunga and four of Rajarajadeva. Of these, only the top lines are visible, while the lower portions are buried underground to a depth of about five feet. It is the only inscription of Kulottunga at Tanjavur. It is dated in the 15th year of the reign of Ko-Rojakesarivarman, alias KuIottunga-Choladeva, and opens with a panegyrical introduction, which describes the achievements of this King. The last lines of the subjoined inscription contain the name of Arumori-Nangai, the Queen of Vira-Rajendradeva, who, as previously stated, appears to have been the predecessor of Kulottunga. There are no traces of letters after the word deviyar in line 64, though there would have been sufficient room for further lines on the same panel. It appears, therefore, that the inscription was left unfinished by the engraver, perhaps because political or private reasons prevented Arumori-Naingai from executing the donation, which she intended to make to the temple. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
