The Brihadeswara Temple at Tanjavur is a renowned temple in Tamil Nadu, India. It is known for its magnificent architecture, which is predominantly of the Chola style. Option 1 is correct, as the temple is indeed a splendid example of Chola architecture.

Option 2 is also correct, as the temple was built by Emperor Rajaraja, who was a Chola king. He constructed the temple in the 11th century, dedicated to Lord Shiva.

Option 3 is also correct, as the temple is primarily constructed of granite. The use of granite in the construction of the temple adds to its strength and durability.

However, option 4 is incorrect. The Brihadeswara Temple is not a monument dedicated to Lord Vishnu, but rather to Lord Shiva. Shiva is one of the principal deities of Hinduism, and this temple is one of the most important Shiva temples in India.

In conclusion, option 4 is the correct answer to the question, as it incorrectly states that the Brihadeswara Temple is a monument dedicated to Lord Vishnu.
