About this ebook

Set against the backdrop of the waning Vijayanagar Kingdom in the sixteenth century, The Temple Builder is the story of King Sevvappa Nayakas ambitious undertaking to build the monolithic Nandi sculpture in the ancient temple of Tanjore, India. His heroic deeds as a warrior earned him the Kingdom of Tanjore. He brought to life his vision of a companion Nandi for the grand Shiva Lingam at the Tanjore Big Temple. The Tanjore temple with its exquisite Nandi endures as a world heritage site today.
