Indian Architecture (Buddhist and Hindu Periods) c24.31

c24.31

The movement neither declined nor died after its supreme achievement, but none the less it had manifestly spent its force, for no specially remarkable buildings appear to have been erected after this date The two temples here described are however sufficient in themselves to establish the architectural reputation of the Chola power.
