Domed roof of the Vyankatesh Balaji Temple Público Deposited
The Vyankatesh Balaji Temple has an amalgamation of various styles that were popular in the Deccan during the eighteenth century. For example, the domed roof, use of multi-foil arches, double-layered foliated band running around the exterior of the dome, are typical of Islamic architecture. On the other hand, the use of the Mangalore-tiled hip roof, wooden sabha mandap, musicians on the domed roof, and deepastambha are elements taken from Hindu temples of the Konkan and Maharashtra regions.
