Also Raja Raja Chola called Kanchi Kailasanatha temple as "Thiru Periya Katrali" meaning "Big Stone Temple". Historians say it could have been inspired RajaRaja Chozha to build Thanjavur Big Temple (RajaRajeshwaram)
This is a beautiful story! Thank you. I spent a few years and Kanchipuram and the temples are magnificent and one just can't take the eyes off Kailasanatha temple.
I visited in 2022. Stupendous. Just the symmetry took my breath away. Well narrated. In Kanchipuram people are so nice. It was because of my father in law and a local guide I saw this temple , actually went to the Sankara Mutt. Well done narrator. Thank you.
Also the sculptures of the temple complex are very unique. Looks like Pallavas took creative liberty from Agamas and Shilpa Sastra when it came to sculptures. There are lesser known temples in and around Kanchipuram with many stories to tell
@@raghuls1515 Have you studied temple architecture? There are three categories: Dravida, Vesara and Nagara. Dravida architecture does not imply Tamil architecture. It is an architectural style found in South Indian temples. We never know where the Dravida style of temple architecture originated - Tamil or Kannada land. As per George Michell (temple architect and historian), we still need all the brick temples constructed in South India to exist today to conclude where Dravida architecture started. Unfortunately these brick temples got destroyed due to war and natural calamities. Even we don't have all literary evidences written - most of them destroyed. How do you conclude Dravida architecture started in Tamil Nadu? Just because Dravida and Tamil are same? If you say gopuram (not vimanam) emerged/developed in Tamil society , it makes sense. Studied about rock cut temples? Definitely not started by Pallavas. Already Chalukyas of Karnataka built rock cut temples before Pallavas and Pandyas built. You can go and check the years if you disagree. Why do you always say everything was started by Tamizhans, not Kannadigas or other societies? What is the need to ignore cross cultural influences? Just study history and spit facts, not pride!
@@tharun541 😂 Man I know world architecture..I told that dravida refers to tamils & the origin of the structural stone temples were the tamilakam..those cave temples were pioneered by buddist & jains for your knowledge Jainism was a major religion in karnataka till 13th century..of course most of the elements of dravida style is from tamilakam..the place of origin will always has the highest concentration of things..tamilakam is the land of temples & undoubtedly the mother of culture..not only south india ..the architecture also heavily influenced south east asia too
Pulikeshi was not killed by Narasimhavarman. Pulikeshi, for unknown reasons (which could be due to sudden death), had died well before Narasimhavarman invaded Vatapi. It was due to this sudden disappearance of an able ruler that internal conflicts arose within the Chalukyan kingdom, which Narasimhavarman very meticulously exploited to avenge his father's death.
It's excellent and is commentable. But, in every historical events must be backed with good authorities. As you know, how sluggish and destructive is Indian Archeogical department is. My friend from Delhi used to say they only interested to show those purana stories only as History. Well done. 🙏🙏
the structures amazing but my question ❓ is Chalukya and Pallava both were Hindu kings so why then they killed each other and plunder the bounty of temples why Pallava discreeted Hindu temples why Pallava looted homes killed women and children and raped
The so called Hinduism is looks like one umbrella but in those period of time it was sub divided by many smaller sections for example Vishnu followers ,Shiva followers ,Lord Murugan followers and a section of people were forced to live out of the town limit and create their own local deities . War crimes are happening in this modern days ,and no wonder it happened in those historical time.

Beautiful and fascinating story of history about brutal war and letting go of city of vengeance
Thanks for ur Team

I guess Aihole, Karnataka has the earliest stone structural temple. As a Tamizhan, we need to give credit to other cultures as well.
Which once
@@ripsanskrit3609 Chalukyan Shiva Temple, Aihole. Belongs to 5th or 6th century. Also known as Lad Khan temple
Dravidian architecture is also called tamil architecture..Everything has its root in tamilakam

I visited this temple & Mahabalipuram very much impressed by the workmanship of both temples
Virupaksha temple gave inspiration to Kailashnath temple in Ellora by Rashtrakuta
Awesome video 🙏🙏👍👍😊😊
Thanks
Great job!!!! I wish this was a full documentary though. You left me desirous to know more and to hear it from you. 🙏🙏🙏
Swag of kannada kings 😎
Nice. Thank you for this video Madam and team.
The pyramids of Giza were also made with sandstone along with limestone.
Pallavas 🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁
Shows goodwill of kannada kings unlike looting and plundering by other invaders, great chalukyas
Hindu/Buddhist kings usually did this. Unlike the Islamic Turkic/Mughals.

If not for the air pollution I would travel to see the magnificent stone work in Asia far better than anything in Europe or Americas.
🙄ok don't come
Air quality isnt a problem in the regions(Tamilnadu, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh) where majority of these stonework temples are present :
The pollution isn't that high though
Please make a video about pardesi jews of Madras
the structures amazing but my question ❓ is Chalukya and Pallava both were Hindu kings so why then they killed each other and plunder the bounty of temples
