hey here's Ur answer..
The main difference between these two is the shape of the shikhara.
Dravidian style of temple architecture :-
It emerged during early medieval period. It is a hybrid style that borrowed from the northern and southern styles. So, it is a mixture of both Nagara and Dravida styles of temple architecture. Temples built in the Deccan under the later Chalukyas of Kalyani and Hoysalas are considered examples of this style.
The Rashtrakutas who ruled the Deccan from Manyakheta, Karnataka in the period 753 – 973 CE built some of the finest Dravidian monuments at Ellora (the Kailasanatha temple), in the rock-cut architecture idiom, with astyle showing influences from both north and south India.
Nagara style of temple architecture :-
A Nagara style temple would generally stand on a high platform (jagati) made of stone bricks, with several mouldings. The identification of the temple with a mountain is specific and the superstructure is known as a “mountain peak”. The jagati represents the feet of a man. Over jagati, there is a smaller platform of stones (pitha). Over the pitha, there rises an even smaller platform (adhisthana), which is the base of the superstructure of the temple. The pillars and walls of the temple are raised on the adhisthana (Singh and Sharma 18).
The Nagara style is not native to the mountainous region and some believe it was introduced in the late Gupta period.
