Monuments of South India
In south India, temples are much more known as monuments than any other
structure constructed in the region. Tamil Nadu is a bastion of
Hinduism, whose past endures into the present Temples with towering
spires called "Gopurams" are a common feature of this state,
seldom seen anywhere else in the India. Quite a contrast to the temple

south of India! Karnataka is home to a fascinating legacy of richly
carved temples of South India, imposing mosques and trappings of a royal
past.Famous Monuments of South IndiaCharminar,
