If you followed the Aihole and Badami pics, this site is considered the 3rd generation school of temple architecture. These sample temples were built in the 8th century A.D.
For in and out, above, about, below,
'Tis nothing but a Magic Shadow-show,
Play'd in a Box whose Candle is the Sun,
Round which we Phantom Figures come and go.
From Edward Fitzgerald's Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam
