Which among the following is the hallmark feature of the Dravida style of temple architecture?

  • A.Shikara
  • B.Gopura
  • C.Vimana
  • D.Mandapa

Answer: C

It is the vimana.

In the Dravida style the tower over the sanctum rises in receding storeys to a domed finial. The gopurams over the enclosure gateways came later and eventually grew taller than the vimana, but the vimana is the defining element.
