DESCRIPTION
This book gives a detailed analysis of architectural designs found in Indian temples built in Karnataka in the period 1000-1300 A.D., and a view on the architectural features common to all sophisticated temples built in medieval India. Indian temples are decorated with architecture in an ingenious way not found elsewhere in the world, and in medieval Karnataka that special use of architecture reached a climax.
