The correct answer is option 4, Brihadeswara Temple at Tanjore. This temple is renowned for its towering structure, making it the tallest of all Medieval Indian temples. The Brihadeswara Temple, also known as the Big Temple, was built by the Chola dynasty in the 11th century. It stands at an impressive height of around 66 meters (216 feet) and is adorned with intricate carvings, sculptures, and a massive Shiva lingam. The temple`s grandeur and architectural excellence are a testament to the skills and craftsmanship of the Chola dynasty. The other options mentioned in the question are also notable temples but do not hold the title of the tallest Medieval Indian temple.
