Gallery information:
These photographs accompany the study of the Social and Cultural History of the Pallava period (as gleaned through the Sculptural Art). The Pallavas rose to power in the Krishna-Guntur region after the fall of the Ikshvakus of Vijayapuri (circa 3rd century A.D. to mid 4th century A.D.). They ruled over the Tondaimandalam (Tondai Nadu) and ensured a golden age of architecture, arts, and spirituality for the followers of Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism.
