Abstract

Indian temple architecture gives us a rare insight into design, construction, proportion, and scale. In Dravidian temples, in particular, Hampi architecture is an impeccable synergy between structural innovation and architectural expression. The Krishna temple complex at Hampi, Karnataka, India has been taken for study, documentation, analysis of design elements, and 3D Virtual modeling/reconstruction of the complete temple complex. The project is an insight of graphical, pictorial, and digital reconstruction using AutoCAD, Google SketchUp, and Kinect software.
