This kundisetty is a paid propagadist wants to divide india with fake narratives.

10:20 why is there a third head on the left of the screen? A rocky head of course.

Amazing eyeopener discussion. Great work done by Mr Anirudh

Amazing amazing conversation . Wish I could take a leave of a month and study these amazing temples of South India which people in the north know very little of. Thanks Anirudh for such an inspiring conversation

i inspired by this conversation and went to see aihole and pattadakal from chennai. it was amazing

Non Indian Indologists will have their own agenda of studying about Indian history. Can't believe them even if they have spent decades. The aspects mentioned in the books written by them certainly distort many information as they don't have exposure to our land and culture. I don't endorse personally.

The new buildings of university which are being built next to this magnificent palace are in modern style and affect the beauty of this building. So the neighbouring buildings have to be redesigned in indosarcinic style.

Why there always is a western expert on Indian Culture etc., are there no Indian Expert of these topics.

An Indian asking a westerner about Deccan temple architecture! He must ask the locals people. They would know.

A Guru is always revered as Guru! My Guru!

That was quite a nice talk 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Indian subcontinent was buddhist stupas and monk in Mohenjo-Daro is even to prove hindu temples came later 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Love the balanced and scientific way this has been presented. A good counter to all the pseudo archaeology floating around on social media. We need more content like this.

He said we don't know, we have only limited information and knowledge about Temple Architectures. he is completely confused. he want to mention that this is not south Indian Architecture it was came from Decan. There was lot of temple evolutions took place in the south even before Cholas. Todays south Indian Temple architectures were the result of the Old Tamil kingdoms temple architecture. later its had spread across the Indian subcontinent with little changes, adopted local designs as well.

Great work 🙏🏽

Idol worship was introduced by Buddhist & jains As such earlier temples were budha chaithyalaya

:)👍🏽 proff being hinest

Wonderful people who work in a field that is less interesting for not only the masses, but also for even the special ones.

The multitude of south Indian Temple architecture is as complicated as can be, the various dynasties of various epochs may not be easy to differentiated. Then the style and technology, for instance the lathe works, or the stone chains, or the musical pillars, may not be easy to pinpoint. Then there were admixture from the north. Then there are examples from outside, like Egypt. However, south India is a brilliant chapter of human endeavor.

The day an Indian learns to dig like the European is the day we'll get more than these rehashes of the same material with just an added gloss here or there.

Hi Michelle. Have not met since we visited Hampi in the 1980s . Hope all is well with you. Regards. Ashley (Sri Lanka)

Early temples were wooden like kerala architecture, kerala wooden architecture is also what we see in ajanta paintings so wooden temples are oldest style.

Historical neutrality is when Anirudh Kanisetti and Vikram Sampath will sit in a room and share a drink.

Dear deccan heritage foundation you are doing a great job. I have interest in ancient art and architecture as well . I would like to bring this to ur notice that there are many Eastern chalukya temples and sites in Andhra Pradesh which need restoration and many Buddhist sites are also there plz concentrate on that too.

very beautiful and studied lecture. Thanks for the onderful information

What a wonderful thing!!! This is the Athens of the East! To think it was neglected. i hope it will become a pilgrimage site for all India to see what a great civilization that had existed. The government needs to provide infrastructure for tourists from all over the can visit, stay for a few days in nice hotels and visit the site. It is not easy to get to currently. No airport or train stations to the location....etc

The Athens of the East!!

No whitey will ever give credit to indias greatest civilization at the dawn of creation. However Indians claims if the greatest civilization is not even understood by indians.Thats the tragedy. The Invaders and Whiteys conquered ruled indians.Brilliant indians with mahabarat wars advanced techonology were defeated by infidels and temples destroyed. Why;All indian culture was dead and buried after Kurukshetra war.Indians were polluted with evils and the gods dint help evils. Our history, Archeology,Antropology,Culture self destroyed by indians

There goes fake historian Kundisetti with his central asian claim.

The discussion doesnot give clear cut inference. probably a civil engineers outlook is missing. Basically everything orriginated from Timberr or TEAK constructions . This as replicated in cave cutting. Indians took the column beam design in buddhist cave cutting structures. The origin lies in buddhist caves .The design of a hall or sabha ,mandap and a garbha griha hosting the idol has been carried from buddhist caves . The caves have column beams cut to support the ceiling. Olden caves had huge columns and beams . As the knoledge of structural stability progressed the columns and beams became morre slender and unsupporrted spans in beteen the columns increased . As the technic of self standing temples having columns and beams assembled in parts ,interlocking by male -female joints developed the solid foundation or jakati and architectural pattern of ardh sabha mandap , sabha mandap ,antrali , garbha griha developed . Aihole is a typical example of experimentation of self standing temples having different architectural styles and shapes . Finally the style of increasing shikhara became finalised the garbha griha has the tallest shikhara.. The oldest self standing temple can be seen in the sanchi complex in madhya pradesh. it is a buddhist temple having small entrance or ardha sabha mandap and garbhagriha. All buddhist structures are cave cuttings. after the birth of hinduism self standing stone temples evolved. Intial hindu temples are also cave cuttings as found in Badami, ellora and Udaygiri caves near vidisha. The tall gopuram in south Indian temples is a later development .

Proud of Indian heritage ❤

See... how Budhist art and culture has been copied and pasted into Hinduism ideology of Vishnu. The Gods of Northern Buddhism: Their History and Iconography by Alice Getty. A must read book for all historians and archaeologists.

The greatest & most beautiful temples of the world were from tamils ..tamil architecture is also called dravidian architecture ..from here it spread across south & south east asia ..cholas & khmers had some of the greatest architects in history ..

👍

People forget the university that was destroyed.. Like Takshila

Now they will teach us about ourselves.

4:00 there could have been wooden architecture and the wood has not survived. Remember seeing some reports about wooden temples in Lumbini from first millennium BCE as well as wooden architecture in Magadha kingdom and Persepolis. Surely that technology would have been known to people in Deccan. In early first millennium CE.

It is interesting to note that the Pallava and Chola architecture of Tamil Nadu is vastly superior to the Kannada architecture of the Chalukyas. It is also no wonder that Tamil has a much older literature than Kannada.

The Hampi of Sangama period was vastly different from the Vijayanagara of Tuluva dynasty.The vaishnava chauvinism and bigotri during K.D.Raya and later period had destroyed the communal harmony of the city and empire that ultimately led to the fall of empire.The Madhwa,Sri Vaishnava Brahmins during the Tultu dynasty period were directly responsible for alienating various local communities.All most all destroyed monuments/temples belong to the vaishnavite shrines.🎉

Wonderful interaction. Immensely grateful to George and his colleagues 🙏

Very good video!!

During our visit to the Virupaksha temple, we saw a really spectacular optical image mimicing the pin hole concept. This enabled folks within the temple to see individuals walking the market street, like a modern day CCTV camera. Could this be the reason for the angle at which the market street is built?

Badami chalukyas architecture starts from 4th century, the mother land of so called dravidian architecture & nagara architecture which spread later to the south & north india.

Tamilians always tell nothing is older than their culture 😂.

One problem I have with the mainstream dating of the Indian temples is there is so guess work going on, in my town near Kanchipuram we have many temples, the historians dated all them in single century, but even a child can look at it tell that those temples couldn't have built in same century, one looks almost new, and the other degraded to point it's hard to identify statues, yet no signs of manmade damage and nature couldn't have done because the temple only 1 or 2 km apart. It's just baffling to me in south India they dated almost all ancient temples form 7th century to 11th century, that almost 90% of the temples in that range, it like everyone in India had nothing to do in those 400 years expect for sculpting and building temples. And when evidence like Mahabalipuram undersea temple staring and screaming at them much older time for stone architectures in south. They just ignore that and pretend that they didn't exist. It's not even that hard to see, if you know where to look you can see the top of vimana from the Mahabalipuram beach temple, it's just 2 to 3 km away from the shore.

A pleasure to watch this discussion

So Interesting, thanks to Dr George for this work. Please make bigger documentary.
