Art, Architecture & Sculpture of India : (Part 3)
by Divinity, mysticism, innovation and magnificence are the best ways to define Indian Art, Architecture & Sculpture.
The architecture of India is rooted in its history, culture and religion. Indian architecture progressed with time and assimilated the many influences that came as a result of India’s global discourse with other regions of the world throughout its millennia-old past. The architectural methods practiced in India are a result of examination and implementation of its established building traditions and outside cultural interactions.

Meenakshi Temple in Madurai, Tamil Nadu.
The figures represent deities from Hindu
mythology and are sculpted onto the towering
gateways (called gopura) of the temple.

Built by the Pandyas between the seventh and
tenth centuries,the temple complex is enclosed
within high walls beyond four gateways (like the
one shown here) with distinctly ornate stucco detailing.

Very nice architectures, so beautiful. What a wonder is these all are constructed when modern technology is not developed. To lift the one big rock to the peak of the dome is very difficult. But very nice architectures.
