Till the period of the ‘Cherans’, Kerala and Tamil Nadu shared a mutually complementing history. Up to the third century, Kerala mainly adopted the Tamil culture to an extent. Many cave temples are found across Kerala that attribute their architecture and aesthetics to Tamil temple discipline. Kerala formed its unique and indigenous architecture in the later centuries. Kerala’s unique temple architecture arose from the old residential architecture. The highlights of Kerala’s unique temple architecture was strict adherence to the beauty of nature, simplicity and sanctity, and the quiet and calming ambiance. Kerala’s temple architecture is special and unseen anywhere in the Indian sub-continent or the rest of the world. Most of the earlier temples were devoted to/cornered by Bhagawathi and Shiva deities, and these temples are still the majority of what we have today. Shastha temples come second in the number of devoted temples.
