Which among the following is the main feature of Dravida Style of Temple architecture?

  • A.Gopuram
  • B.Garbha Griha
  • C.Vimana & Shikhara
  • D.Manastambha

Answer: C

The main feature is the vimana.

In the Dravida style the tower rises over the sanctum in receding storeys to a domed finial, unlike the curving northern shikhara. The gopurams over the gateways came later and grew taller than the vimana itself.
