Square, circular, and apsidal, single-storied,multi-storied, hipped and gabled, and always with an enigmatic profile, the Kerala temple is at once familiar with its constituent parts and inexpressible for its distinctive architectural character. This lecture examines the issue of style––drāviḍa, Kerala, both?––in the form of the medieval Kerala temple, with a particular emphasis on its regional mode of architectural sculpture.
