Temples in South India are some of the most culturally enriched sites that you will find. The people here have been preserving their culture via these exotic temples forever.

The different states of South India have different architectural styles. They follow their unique architectural styles which are further commissioned by the respective rulers in veneration of their holy deity.

However, among all of the architectural practices which are followed by the states, the most interesting and significant one is the Dravidian architecture. This architectural form originated a thousand years ago. Koils – a pyramid shaped temple is what is most practiced in Dravidian architecture. In such constructions, a single stone is carved out intricately to form steps which are further adorned with carved statues of deities, kings, warriors and dancers etc. This is the prominent style which most of the south Indian temples have adopted. The style form initially flourished in royal courts of empires like Pallavas, Cholas, Pandya, Chera, Chalukyas, Rashtrakutas, Hoysalas and Vijayanagara. Each empire during their respective time contributed substantially to this architectural style. The highlights of this type of architecture are the Vimanam – main part, Mandapams – the porches, Gopurams Gate – pyramids and Chaultris – pillared halls.
