Temples: history, architecture and distribution

[Guest]

Dear Kaushal,
I've been around lower India (Delhi on down) and hope to visit all the ancient most
beautiful temples eventually. TempleNet is very useful but it's hard to figure out
which are the prominent temples among all the Tamil ones.
Last Jan with a group, I visited some fabulously old Koils around Pudukkottai &
Trichy, all 10th century & earlier, of all 3 great dynasties: Pallava, Pandya & Chola.

If you have some favorite obscure temples please let me know. On my next list
for exploration are Ter, Chezerla, Modhera, Patan Vav, Kamakhya, Nandi Hill,
Markanda, Ramtek, Dipadih, & Tala, CG again . . . you get the idea how
far-flung they are.
Is this of interest? If you have time I'd love to hear.
