About the Book

Andhradesa (Andhra Pradesh) witnessed over a period of several centuries, different art and architectural styles pertaining to temples. The art and architecture of these temples were mainly influenced by both major and minor dynasties as well as regional variations. Chalukyas, Kakatiyas, Vijayanagara rulers were major contributors in the temple construction activity in view of the number of temples constructed and independent styles adopted. However, Rastrakutas and other minor ruling families like Telugu Cholas, Renandu Cholas, Vaidumbas, Kayasthas etc. also did contributed their share in the temple building activity. This book mainly deals with the art, architecture of the temples of Cuddapah district along with loose images and the sculptures on the wall portions of the temples in the area. For the convenience of the scholars, ground plans and adhisthana drawings are given to scale and a number of photographs of the temples are also included. Inscriptions associated with the temples, particularly associated with the dates of the temple are also studied and referred.
