"Understanding The Architecture Of Karnataka"

Abstract

My paper intends to present the historical understanding of the Architecture of Karnataka. Originally called the State of Mysore, Karnataka is a state in southern India. Architectural monuments in the area over the ages revealed a variety of influences, frequently providing insight into the artistic preferences of the twelve distinct dynasties' rulers. Its architectural diversity includes magnificent monoliths like the Gomateshwara, shrines dedicated to Hindu and Jain faiths, the ruins of old cities, mausoleums, and palaces with a variety of architectural styles. The Karnataka architecture was created by the Kadambas. The Shikara (dome), known as the Kadamba Shikara, is the most noticeable fundamental element of their architecture. With a stupika or kalasha at the summit, the pyramid-shaped Shikara rises in simple steps. Thus Karnataka is having great art and Architectures. Karnataka has its own glory of construction and Architectures. Understanding the Architectures of Karnataka is very essential to study by the history students.
