TEMPLE ARCHITECTURE IN HARYANA

ABSTRACT

A large proportion of the workmanship and structural additions dating back to ancient and medieval India are of a graver nature. This does not mean that people did not have the workmanship of the frontal cortex at that time, yet the surrounding houses and the things in them were usually brought using materials such as wood and clay, which went, or made of metal which in some cases was taken apart and reused. As temples became more beautiful, more surfaces were created for the game plan through additional material projections, i.e., artistically demanding, altered walls and properties without detracting from the central plan of the place of reverence. In India, temples should be given due attention considering their locations, plans and elements. The curved top is the fundamental piece in North Indian or Nagara style temple architecture as its superstructure is in any case called shikhara, four-sided, square or oval with a sharp kalasha on top. Another style of temple with different plans and parts is seen in the south and is known as the Dravidian style. Here the superstructure is a revolving vimana with six or eight sides with a round stupi on top. The Vesara style of the temples is a mixture of both Nagara and Dravida, its superstructure is circular.
