Brahmanical Architecture

Brahmanical architecture refers to the ancient Indian architectural styles associated with Hindu temple constructions, primarily influenced by the Brahman caste. It emphasizes complex designs, intricate carvings, and sacred geometry. Key features include towering shikharas (spires), spacious sanctums, and elaborate pillared halls. Prominent examples are the temples at Khajuraho and the Brihadeeswarar Temple in Tamil Nadu. This architectural style reflects religious beliefs, cultural practices, and advances in engineering, serving as both a spiritual space and a symbol of artistic achievement in Indian history.
