v1.c19.s15.4

Slight as the difference may appear to the unpractised eye, it is within the four centuries that include the dates of these two buildings (1350 to 1750) that practically the whole history of the later Dravidian temple architecture is included. For it is safe to assert that nine-tenths, at least, or more, of those which are now found south of the Tungabhadrâ, were erected or largely extended and rebuilt between these dates.
