1.	State your opinion.Two styles of architecture are seen in South India.
Answer» Two styles of architecture ‘Dravida’ and ‘Vesara’ developed in South India. The Dravida style emerged and developed in the regions from the Krishna river to Kanyakumari. The important feature of Dravida architecture was identified by the construction of Shikhara. In this type, the stories reduce in size as the Shikhara rises. Examples of this style can be seen in the Kailasnath and Vaikuntha Perumal temples at Kanchi, Brihadeshwara temple at Tanjore. The Chalukyas built temples at places like Aihole, Badami, and Pattadakal. During the Rashtrakuta period, the world-famous ‘Kailasa’ temple was created.
