Architecture is not a modern phenomenon. It began as soon as the early cave man began to build his/herown shelter to live in. Indian Architecture evolved in various stages in different parts and regions of the country. Apart from the natural and obvious evolutions from the pre historic and historic periods, evolution of Indian Architecture was generally affected by many great and important historic developments. Naturally, the emergence and decay of great empires and dynasty in the subcontinent, each in their way influenced the growth and shaped the evolution of Indian architecture.
