Many of India's temples are stunning feats of architectural ambition, & most are adorned with intricate carvings & symbols.
MOST of the art and architectural remains that survive from Ancient and Medieval India are religious in nature. That does not mean that people did not have art in their homes at those times, but domestic dwellings and
the things in them were mostly made from materials like wood and clay which have perished.
At all times, we must keep in mind that religious shrines were also made for many local cults in villages and forest areas, but again, not being of stone the ancient or medieval shrines in those areas have also vanished. Early Temples While construction of stupas continued, Brahmanical temples and images of gods also started getting constructed. Often temples were decorated with the images of gods. Myths mentioned in the Puranas became part of narrative representation of the Brahmanical religion.
Each temple had a principal image of a god. The shrines of the temples were of three kinds—
(i) sandhara type (without pradikshinapatha),
(ii) nirandhara type (with pradakshinapatha),
(iii) sarvatobhadra (which can be accessed from all sides).
