It was during the 5th Century AD, that the Gupta Dynasty carrying forward the tradition of religious cave temples built the first permanent free-standing Hindu temple and marked an important epoch in the history of Indian Temple Architecture. In ancient India, temple architecture of high standard developed in almost all regions. It is notable that the temples were not designed only built as a platform for meeting the Gods and Goddesses but also as a ‘Devalaya’, meaning the dwelling place of the deity.
