DKTAII, 01^ A GOPURAM AT MADURA 



This picture shows the bewildering entanglement of symbolism found on these gopiirams, 

 where many of the gods of the Hindu pantheon find a place. These curious gateways are 

 found only in the south of India and are characteristic of Dravidian architecture, which takes 

 its nam.e from the Dravidians, who belong to the oldest known race inhabiting India.
