Dravidian style

Dravidian style refers to the traditional architectural and artistic approach associated with the Tamil-speaking regions of South India. It is characterized by grand, towering temple structures called "Virasas" or "Gopurams," elaborately decorated with intricate carvings of gods, goddesses, and mythological stories. The style emphasizes verticality and complexity, with massive stone constructions built over centuries. It reflects deep religious and cultural significance, blending artistry with spirituality. This architectural style has influenced many South Indian temples and is recognized for its detailed craftsmanship, grandeur, and distinctive pyramidal towers that serve as symbolic expressions of divine presence.
