This variety of Dravida architecture acted as foundation for a new form known as \"Vesara\" created by architects in the Deccan in the 11th century, a synthetic and original style that will form the subject of volumes that follow these in this series.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e As in previous volumes, style and patronage form a web in which the many temples to be described have been embedded. The principal patrons in this region of South India in this period were the Calukyas of Badami and Vengi and the Rastrakutas of Malkhed, The primary patrons of the Vesara style, which follows in the Deccan, were the Later Calukyas and their successors, the Hoysalas, whose temples will form the bulk of the \"Upper Dravidadesa, Later Phase,\" set of volumes to follow this set. Though major dynasties may thus be linked to major changes in architectural style, a variety of smaller kingdoms and sub-regional styles existed that form the subject of separate chapters in this Encyclopaedia. It is perhaps in the definition of such divisions that the crux of understanding style in India lies. Styles are formulated in the hands of artisans, and the fabric of craft in India was continual over a wide territory. While we must understand both \"centres\" and \"peripheries\" in studying Indian patronage, we also must understand that each group of craftsmen was central to the \"style\" their work expressed. The \"style\" of a dynasty could be formulated only from a continuum of the idioms such craftsmen created.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Throughout these volumes a style code has been used as heading for chapters and as reference for plates; this code is summarized at the front of the Plates volume and is based on the following style outline:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle Outline\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eVol. I, part 1\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I.

The architecture of the Calukyas and Rastrakutas has been the subject of much scholarship in recent decades, yet it can still not be said that all chronological and historical issues have been resolved. This volume attempts to make the issue and opinions clear. What has emerged clearly from recent scholarship, however, is the originality of architecture in the Deccan, its independence, and the consistency with which styles in the region developed and interacted. By studying the interweaving of architectural motifs and ideas in this central region, something of the process of stylistic origination in Indian can be observed.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ccenter\u003e \u003cb\u003eContents\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/center\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd width=\"10%\"\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd width=\"80%\"\u003e Preface\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd width=\"10%\"\u003e v\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e Style outline\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e v\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e Acknowledgments\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e vii\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e List of Maps\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e xi\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e Figure References\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e xiii\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003e 20\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e Calukyas of Badami: Phase I\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e 3\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e Supplementum\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e 59\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003e 21\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e Calukyas of Badami: Phase II\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e 71\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e Supplementum\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e 90\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003e 22\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e Alupas of Udayapura: Phase I\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e 95\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003e 23\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e Rastrakutas of Malkhed: Upper Variation, Phase I\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e 105\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003e 24\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e Rastrakutas of Malkhed: Upper Variation, Phase II\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e 141\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003e 25\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e Eastern Calukyas of Vengi: Phase I\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e 163\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003e 26\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e Eastern Calukyas of Vengi: Phase II\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e 171\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003e 27\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e Telugu-Codas and Vaidumbas\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e 177\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003e 28\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e Alupas of Udayapura: Phase II\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e 179\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003e 29\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e Gangas of Talkad\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e 185\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003e 30\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e Nolambas of Hemavati\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e 205\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003e 31\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e Santaras of Humca\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e 217\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003e 32\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e Hoysalas of Angadi\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e 227\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e Reference Glossary\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e 299\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e Site and Temple Index\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e 247\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e Plates Volume\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e Style Code for Plate Reference\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e vii\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e Plate\/Chapter Reference\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e 2\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e Plates 1-656\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e 3\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/tbody\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ccenter\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cfont color=\"red\" size=\"5\"\u003eSample Pages\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/center\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ccenter\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cfont color=\"red\" size=\"5\"\u003ePart -
