Starting with monuments of the Kushan period (1st-2nd century CE), this course traces the architectural evolution of the Indian temple through to its culmination in the South Indian temple cities of the Nayak period (17th century). The point of departure is morphological and stylistic analysis of the buildings themselves, which will then fuel discussions on architectural symbolism, the relationship between temple architecture and Hindu ritual, and the social and political functions of temples.
