South Indian Temples

The beautiful temple tour of south India travel showcases serenity in its legacy. The varied cultures and religions make the spiritual tour of India as one of the most popular itinerary. South India Temple Tours takes you on a fascinating journey to the land rich in momentous temples. There are several towns in South India that are specifically known as the 'Temple Towns' owing to some of the brilliant temples of the town. The south Indian style of temple architecture is called Dravida Style of Temple Architecture. The Vimana and the Gopurams characterize this style. The Vimana is a tall pyramidal tower consisting of several diminishing smaller storeys standing on a square base. The Gopuram is two storeys gateway to the temple separated by a horizontal molding. The Prakara or the outer wall encloses the temple. The Pallavas, the Cholas, the Pandyas, the Vijayanagar rulers and the Nayaks had contributed to the development of South Indian temples.

India's Great Divide is the Vindhya Mountains. They run from east to west, separating the fertile river valley of the Ganges called the Ganga, from the Deccan Plateau which occupies much of the peninsula of India. It also separates the north, where the predominant languages are Sanskrit - based (brought in by the Indo Iranian herds people about 3,500 years ago), from the Dravidian tongues brought in by a long headed race from the Mediterranean about a thousand years earlier. The South India's coastal plains are backed by the mountains rimming the wedge of the Deccan plateau. On these plains lie the best beaches in South India. On the rimming mountains, the western and eastern ghats are the tea, coffee and spice lands. Beyond these mountains, in the wedge shaped plateau, are great old cities supported by rich farm lands and a culture that has its roots in the almost historical Kumari Continent from where, they claim, civilization spread across the world. The south is gracious, graceful, Old India.
