Because the central Nolambavadi (Chapter three) 'idiom' is the most recognizable of the Nolambavadi 'style', the temples from the Nolamba capital, Hemavati (Anantapur district, A.P.), and environs are extensively discussed. Eastern Nolambavadi (Kolar district, Karnataka), Chapter four, features the aesthetically engrossing Bhoganandisvara temple compound at Nandi village and the temples of Avani. Traditional north Kongu, Dharmapuri (T.N.), is the location of southern Nolambavadi (Chapter five) temples. Nolamba presence here is more intrusive and the temple style reflects the blending of Nolambavadi, Gangavadi and lower Dravidadesa styles. By emphasizing localized artistic traditions, while acknowledging regionally shared traits, this study demonstrates that the temples are recognizably 'Nolamba'--a style distinctive in aesthetic charm--and that these monuments require inclusion in the study of south Indian art history.
