Dravidian temple architecture is a style of Hindu temple architecture that originated in the southern part of India, particularly in the states of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Kerala. It is characterized by its distinctive features, which include towering gateways (gopurams), elaborate sculptures, and intricate carvings. Dravidian temples are characterized by their multi-tiered superstructures known as shikharas, which crown the vimanas and other towers of the temple complex. Shikharas are adorned with sculptural ornamentation and intricate carvings, with each tier gradually tapering towards the top. Overall, Dravidian temple architecture is characterized by its grandeur, intricacy, and spiritual significance, making it an integral part of India’s rich cultural heritage and religious traditions. The height  of the shikhara is 80 feet from top slab level.
