1) Rajaraja I was a powerful Chola emperor who expanded the Chola empire and ensured its supremacy in South India and the Indian Ocean. 2) He built the great Brihadisvara Temple in Thanjavur dedicated to Lord Shiva between 1003-1014 CE. The temple is considered one of the finest examples of South Indian architecture. 3) Rajaraja was influenced by earlier Pallava architectural structures like the Dharmaraja Ratham at Mamallapuram, and refined Pallava techniques in constructing the Brihadisvara Temple.
