Answer:

hey mate here is your answer

Dravidian architecture is an architectural idiom in Hindu temple architecture that emerged in the southern part of the Indian subcontinent or South India, reaching its final form by the sixteenth century. It consists primarily of Hindu temples where the dominating feature is the high gopura or gatehouse; large temples have several. Mentioned as one of three styles of temple building in the ancient book Vastu shastra, the majority of the existing structures are located in the Southern Indian states of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Telangana. Various kingdoms and empires such as the Cholas, the Chera, the Kakatiyas, the Pandyas, the Pallavas, the Gangas, the Kadambas, the Rashtrakutas, the Chalukyas, the Hoysalas, and Vijayanagara Empire among others have made substantial contribution to the evolution of Dravidian architecture.

ANSWER:

Art Historians stated that sculpture and art of the Vijayanagara empire was ‘the evolutionary form of Dravidian style’

EXPLANATION:

    Dravidian architecture is a style adopted in Hindu temple architecture which evolved in South India. It comprises mostly Hindu temples where the overlooking feature is the high gatehouse or Gopura that several large temples have. Various empires and kingdoms such as Vijayanagara Empire amongst others have made significant contribution to the "evolution of Dravidian architecture".

   The temples in Vijayanagara are bordered by strong enclosures and characterised by decorative pillared Kalyana Mandapam (marriage halls); tall Raya Gopurams (carved monumental towers at the temple entrance) built of stucco, brick, and wood in the Chola style; and ornamented with life-sized figures of goddesses and gods. This Dravidian style became prevalent in the rule of King Krishnadeva Raya and is seen in South Indian temples built over the next 2 centuries.
