The Pallava dynasty was a medieval South Indian dynasty that existed between the 6th and 9th centuries, ruling a portion of what is today southern India. They gained prominence after the eclipse of the Satavahana dynasty, whom the Pallavas served as feudatories.
The Pallava Dynasty was known for its beautiful Dravidian architecture. This was a style unique to the Indian subcontinent. The structures consisted of temples in the shape of pyramids. They contained carved designs of leaders and deities.
