About the Book
This comprehensive study delves into the rock-cut cave temple architecture of South India, a monumental contribution to global art and heritage. Spanning over four hundred years, this architectural tradition was patronized by powerful dynasties like the Calukya, Pallava, and Rastrakuta and serves as a symbol of political vitality and artistic innovation in ancient India.
The book traces the evolution of rock-cut architecture, beginning with the Calukyan caves, moving through the iconic Pallava rathas and mandapams, and culminating in the grandeur of the Rastrakuta Kailasanatha temple at Ellora, showcasing the peak of this architectural tradition.
With detailed analysis of architectural components and the historical context of these temples, this book is a vital resource for art historians, archaeologists, and students of Indian art and architecture.
