“Majestic Marvel of Dravidian Architecture”

#favouriteitinerary The Sri Maha Mariamman Temple at Batu Caves showcases a vibrant and intricate Dravidian architectural style, which is characteristic of South Indian Hindu temples. The design elements include: The Gopuram (Tower Entrance) adorned with colorful sculptures of Hindu deities, mythological figures, and intricate floral patterns, the Sanctum (Garbha Griha) The main sanctum houses the deity Sri Maha Mariamman, a form of Goddess Durga, revered for her protective and nurturing qualities. The temple has a mandapam (prayer hall) supported by intricately carved pillars featuring detailed motifs of Hindu gods, animals, and celestial beings. I couldn’t help but to mesmerise these amazing temple building styles that shapes its past and present history.
