Abstract


India's architecture is influenced by its history, culture, and religion. The opposing Hindu temple architecture and Indo-Islamic architecture are the most well-known historical styles among a variety of architectural styles and traditions. Both of them, especially the former, contain a variety of regional styles. In ancient times of Indus Valley, people lived in cities. Houses were made up of brick, grid-layout streets, drainage systems, water supply systems, granaries and citadels were all a part of the cities.
