The temples of Rajasthan reflect the great architectural movement that
gripped the entire state from 8th to 11th century was really a later
flowering of the virile development inspired by the Guptas during the
4th, 5th and 6th centuries. The 8th and 9th century also saw new styles
of temples emerging from the Gurjara Pratihara dynasty from Mandore.
Temples built around this time also include temples at Chittorgarh and
Osiyan in western Rajasthan. The familiar feature of these temples is
single sikhara or spire and intricately carved outer chamber called the
mandup before the inner sanctum. Temples of Rajasthan are living
testimony to the virile artistic talent of Rajasthan. The notable among
these are: Dilwara Temples, Someshvara Temple, Mahavira Temple and Kalki
Mata Temple.
