Took us a while to find this location ever though this is one of the most popular temples in Tamil Nadu. We had no clue as to what the location is when we saw the song. But then, we seem to find out these locations from the weirdest of places! And this one was mentioned in the comments section of the YouTube video. Once we got the name of the location, all we had to do was look up the pictures of the location in Flickr and there it was – another new location for WhereWasItShot!

About the location (from Wiki):
Gangaikonda Cholapuram (Tamil: கங்கைகொண்ட சோழபுரம்) was erected as the capital of the Cholas by Rajendra Chola I, the son and successor of Rajaraja Chola, the great Chola who conquered a large area in South India at the beginning of the 11th century C.E. It occupies an important place in the history of India. As the capital of the Cholas from about 1025 C.E. for about 250 years, the city controlled the affairs of entire south India, from the Tungabhadra in the north to Ceylon in the south. The great temple of Siva at this place is next only to the Brihadisvara temple at Thanjavur in its monumental nature and surpasses it in sculptural quality.
