Indian Architectural Diplomacy and Soft Power

The temple architecture of India has been a thing of marvel and fascination for the world over centuries. In this research, we focus on the different aspects and unique perspectives that are often overlooked while we focus on diplomacy and the heritage that these architectural wonders bring to our country, and most importantly, we try to shed light on the shifting tides of time where India becomes a global player and how these cultural and historical artefacts help shape and make one understand the psyche and cultural norms

of our country.

Temples as architectural structures in India are one of the most prominent and conspicuous facets of Indian heritage and have remained architectural masterpieces of several influential kings and kingdoms of the nation.

Reviving the civilisational identity of India, construction, inauguration, and restoration of temples has become a testament to India's ancient connectivity. It has been a fertile ground for trade and diplomacy, carries its own identity on the global platform, and has safeguarded the originality and characteristics of its traditions.

This legacy of Indian temple architecture can be seen across Southeast Asian nations, boosts the economy, and cultivates a long-standing international relationship and association with world politics and the changing axis of time.
