TEMPLE ARCHITECTURE

Ds is planning on studying Temple Architecture during our visit this year as a part of Geometry. This is an attempt to collect all resources for his study and research. We would be visiting some specific cities and very old temples in both Southern and Northern India, which I hope would give him a brief tour of the different styles of architecture present in India. He is also brushing up on some Indian history. I am listing some interesting sites and books on Temple Architecture as well as general Architecture resources. I hope it is of some use to you as well.
