The Rajput Rulers had a keen sense of beauty in Art and Architecture which is seen in the artistic excellence of their temples, forts and palaces. The Indo-Aryan style of architecture developed in North India and Upper Deccan and the Dravidian style in South India during the Rajput period. Both sculpture and architecture attained a high degree of excellence.

Answer:
The contribution of the Rajputs to the art and architecture of medieval India was immense.
The constant warfare among the different Rajput kingdoms made it necessary for them to construct numerous forts for defence.
The Rajputs built several exquisitely carved temples that were decorated with stunning sculptures, such as the Kandariya Mahadeva Temple at Khajuraho.
Some other forts built by the Rajputs are the Bharatpur,Bundi,Jodhpur,Ranthambor and Amber forts.These are features typical of north Indian temple architecture.
