“Dravidian Architecture is Temple’s Majestic Marvel”

#favouriteitinerary The Dravidian architecture of the Batu Cave temples is a marvel itself. This Hindu temple design originated in South India, particularly in Tamil Nadu, and dates back over 2,000 years. This architectural style is characterized by its elaborate and towering gopurams (entrance gateways), intricate carvings, and pyramid-like temple structures. One of the most striking features of Dravidian temples is the gopuram, a monumental entrance tower decorated with colorful sculptures of Hindu deities, saints, and mythological figures. These gopurams are often multi-tiered and taper towards the top. Examples include the towering gopurams of Meenakshi Temple (Madurai) and Brihadeeswarar Temple (Thanjavur)
