Temples Constructed
A distinctive regional variant within the Dravidian tradition, defined by steep, multi-tiered sloping roofs (built historically to shed Kerala's heavy monsoon rainfall), circular or apsidal sanctum plans, and extensive use of laterite and timber alongside stone.
Kerala-style temples diverge visually from typical Dravidian Vimanas — the steep, often copper-clad sloping roofs and use of timber framing give them a distinctly different silhouette suited originally to heavy rainfall, but increasingly chosen for its warmth and uniqueness by clients in Madhya Pradesh wanting to stand apart from more common Nagara or Dravidian designs.
