1.ROCKY PALLAVA ARCHITECTURE
From the year 600 to the year 900, the Pallava Dynasty was ruled by the Monumental Kingdom of Mahabalipuram and its capital city, Kanchipuram, in the present-day Indian State of Tamil Nadu. Pallava rulers were forerunners of South Indian architecture.The finest achievements of Pallava architecture are the temples carved from the rock in Mahabalipuram. Rathat of Mahabalipuram, halls with sculptured and excavated columns, and massive pagodas are found there.Notable is the seaside temple that Narasimhavarman I II built in the Mahabalipuram area.
2. ARCHITECTURE PANDYA
The official symbol of the Tamil Nadu government is the Temple of Andal. The Temple is the recognised Pandyan building style.According to legend, it was constructed by the goddess of the king, Periyaazvari, and Vallabhadeva, the clay god who prevailed in negotiations at King Pandya Palace. The building of a twelve-story tower, dedicated to Vatapatrasayee as Srivilliputturit's monarch, serves as the city's primary symbol.The 59-meter-tall temple tower serves as the Tamil Nadu State's official symbol. One of the most significant temples of Pandya architecture is the well-known Meenakshi Temple in Madurai.
3. CHOLA ARCHITECTURE
Rajaraja Cholan and his son Rajendra Chola, who erected temples including the Temple of Thanjavur Brihadeeswarar, the Brihadeeshwarar Temple of the Gangaikonds of Cholapuram, and the Temple of Daraburama Airavatesvara, were among the Chola rulers who ruled from 848 to 1280.The first three temples were designated as Chola Great Living Temples of the UNESCO World Patrimony. The Chola emperors had been highly prolific builders after the reign of the first royal king Vijayalaya Chola and the several lines of the Temple Vijayalaya Choshisvaram close to Narttamalai.The first instances of Dravidian temples dominating Chola can be seen there. His son Aditya constructed a number of temples near the Kanch and Kumbakonam areas.
4. CHIDAMBARAM THILLAI NATARAJA TEMPLE
Kanaca-Sabai (Golden Phase) at the Chidambaram Thillai Nataraja Temple is a glorious illustration of this. A special pagoda is entirely covered in gold tiles, but it is built differently and is much larger than most other Vimanas. This Vimana was built in the ninth century by Parantaka Chola I, according to historical records, and was afterwards covered in beautiful gold that is still visible today.The Vimana Ananda Nilayam of the Venkateswara Temple in Tirumala is a very well-known example where the main pagoda gopuram has an outstanding place in the history and prestige of the temple. At the Meenakshi Amman Temple, there are two golden idols: one is Mr. Shiva's magnificent wife, the other is his Meenakshi wife.
5. BRIHADEESWARAR TEMPLE IN TANJORE
The Vimana of Brihadeeswarar Temple in Tanjore is another well-known illustration of a very high altitude. Its form is unusual.After independence, modernist architecture became more prevalent throughout the city. The area was transformed from brick and lime columns to concrete columns when the LIC skyscraper was finished in 1959 and became the tallest skyscraper in the world. Weather radar, on the other hand, forbade the construction of structures taller than 60 metres within a 10-km radius at the Port of Chennai.of the region of the district's commercial core, there are also 1,5, which is considerably fewer than smaller towns in the country. The settlement has expanded horizontally instead than vertically, which is notable in other major cities.On the other hand, the city's outskirts are developing vertically and having over 50-story structures built, particularly in the south and south-west.
