Talk:List of tallest gopurams

Untitled

The brihadeeswara temple of Tanjore is missing. It is supposed to be 216 feet tall, going by the wikimedia article on it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.167.243.201 (talk) 05:12, 9 August 2015 (UTC)

Which is tallest

The table text and data is contradictory. It lists Murdeshwar as tallest, at 237.5 ft, while Ranganathaswamy Temple, Srirangam is listed as second tallest, at 239.501 ft (2 ft taller than Murdeshwar). So, which really is taller? (For what it's worth, the sources listed that I can access do not list the height of either structure, so there's a basic WP:V problem.) WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 15:36, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

Tallest gopuram

Why wikipedia put murudeshwar temple gopuram first in the order though it is second tallest ? Tamilmadu (talk) 03:34, 25 May 2019 (UTC)

Sl #16 - Vellai gopuram - date of completion is wrong. It is not 1987 CE. Please refer the below article on incident related with Vellai gopuram It clearly shows that Vellayi Gopuram was built as part of the original temple. Wiki article on Srirangam temple indicates that the Vellayi gopuram must have been built between 13th and 16th century CE. ~~Subramaniam~~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arunachalam Subramaniam (talk • contribs) 17:50, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

Request to change the title from List of tallest Gopurams to List of tallest temple towers

This page covers Hindu temple towers of two different natures, namely Gopurams (south Indian temple towers) and Vimanas (North Indian temple towers). It will be better if a common name is used as the title. [unsigned]

Hmm - Vimana (architectural feature) is the term for South Indian sanctuary towers (as opposed to gopura gateway towers, and those of Odisha). North Indian sanctuary towers are normally called shikhara. These last don't seem to be covered much in this somewhat erratic selection, but it certainly covers more than gopura.

Looks like it is time to split and have a separate page for Shikhara as there are more entries now.Ssriram mt (talk) 12:30, 22 July 2021 (UTC)

Only a couple now, and nothing from eg. the Khajuraho Group of Monuments. I don't think I'd favour a split at the moment, but a rename to List of tallest temple towers in India might be good. Johnbod (talk) 14:45, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
