Indian Architecture .






Indian architecture had developed by the 200’s B.C. The first great influence on Indian architecture was Buddhism, a major religion in India. Buddhism inspired the building of temples called chaityas, monasteries, and stupas. A stupa is a dome - shaped monument that houses relics of Buddha, who founded the religion in the 500’s B.C. Many of the temples were carved from solid rock.

Hinduism and Islam also influenced Indian architecture. Hindu temples have rows of sculptured columns and richly carved exteriors, open porches and spires. The Muslims conquered India during the 1500’s and introduced their style of architecture. The outstanding Islamic building in India is the beautiful Taj Mahal

(about 1630 - 1650) in Agra. Angkor Wat (1100’s), a group of temples in Cambodia, shows the Hindu influence on architecture outside India.
