Vol. I, Part 3: This part in two binds covers the full
range of Indian temple architecture, surveys medieval temples and
associated buildings in Upper Drāviḍadēśa, particularly those in the
territories of the Cāḷukyas of Kalyāṇa, Hoysaḷas of Dorassamudra, as
well as in those of other dynasties such as the Kadambas, Raṭṭas, Guttas,
Senas and Śāntaras in Karnataka and those in the domain of the Kākatīyas
of Waraṅgal together with those of the Cāḷukyas of Vemulavāḍa; Telugu
Coḍas, Reḍḍis, and Malyālas, all in theTeliṅgāṇa area of Andhra Pradesh,
and finally the Ālupas of Tuḷunāḍu. Arranged by region and dynasty, the
chapters also focus, wherever evidence is clear, on the nature of local
idioms and origins of the regional styles. These are copiously
illustrated with drawings and photographs.
