Darasuram is a small town near Kumbaakonam in Tamil Naadu State in Southern India. It is known for the Airaavateshwar Temple built by Raajaraajaa Chola II between 1146-63. The Temple is constructed in a way as if the whole Temple is a chariot encased in a lotus floating on a lake. The Vimaan is 85 feet high. This along with the Brihadeshwar Temple in Thanjaavar and the Gangaikonda Cholapuram Temple is part of the Great Living Chola Temple inscribed into the UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
