Question

Compare the art and architecture of Chola temples with any one contemporary temple in a tabular form.

Answer 1

Explanation:

The dvarapalas, or guardian figures, at the entrance to the mandapa, or hall which started from the Palava period became a unique feature of the Chola Temples. The Dravidian Style got fully developed after a transition from the rock cut structures of the Pallava Period.The Cholas believed in local self-government. In many of the villages, the administration was carried out not by the government officials but by the villagers themselves. These villages had three types of assemblies, namely the ur, the sabha and the nagaram.There are three great Chola Temples of the 11th and 12th century, the Brihadisvara temples of Thanjavur, the Temple of Gangaikondacholisvaram, and the Airavatesvara temple at Darasuram
