About The Book

Art and architecture are indeed the faithful expressions of creative activities of humankind through the ages. In fact they form a significant element of India's heritage. The present work is a comprehensive account of both secular and religious architecture of South India right from the Pre-historic time to the Post-mediaeval period. It is an authentic and formal presentation of the architectural heritages of South India based on the first hand know ledge accrued by the author. The objective of the present work is mainly to focus on the evolution, the method and the technique of their production, the regional deviation, iconographic and religious perspective and chronological sequence of the architectural legacies of South India. The details of the architectural inheritance of pre-historic and also perhaps early historic period are mainly cull out from various exploration and excavation reports. The different modes of architecture such as the rock-cut cave, the monolith and the structural creation of various phases, fostered by the adherents of different religious faith, are systematically dealt in detail in this work.
The correlation of terminology for the structural components of the north and south Indian temples and other relevant details are supplemented at the end for ready reference and easy understanding. The photographs of selected monuments from different region and style and the line drawings illustrating the architectural elements of the stupa, temple and mosque and the types of adhishtana, corbel, pillar, dome, arch, etc., are some of the notable addition of the book.
