Pallava architecture
The first stone and mortar temples of South India were constructed during Pallava rule and were based on earlier brick and timber prototypes. Pallava sculptors later graduated to free-standing structural shrines which inspired Chola dynasty's temples.

Chalukya architecture
The Chalukyan architects retained features from both northern and southern styles. They inclined towards the northern style and tended to build one main shrine with four minor shrines, making the structure a panchayatna or five-shrined complex

Hoysala Architecture
Temple architecture is designed to move the devotee from outside to the garbhagriha through ambulatory passageways for circumambulation and halls or chambers (mantapas) that become increasingly sacred as the deity is approached.
