Two great Brihadisvara temples were built by the imperial Cholas: one at Thanjavur and one at Gangaikonda Cholapuram. Both are part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Great Living Chola Temples".
Rajendra I (1014–1044 CE), after his victorious northern campaign to the Ganga, took the title Gangaikonda Chola, founded Gangaikonda Cholapuram as his new capital and built the Brihadisvara temple there.
Rajaraja I built the Brihadisvara temple at Thanjavur, Rajaraja II built the Airavatesvara temple at Darasuram, and Kulothunga I is not linked with this temple.
