Discuss Salient features of Ramappa Temple, Palampet?

 Kakatiyas- an indigenous Telugu dynasty ruled over the Andhradesa consisting of modern states of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh from 10th century AD to the first quarter of 14th century AD. The name ‘Kakatiya’ is derived from goddess Kakati- a mother goddess Durga, venerated by the dynasty. Though the Kakatiyas were influenced by the Chalukya architectural style they added their distinctive features to it. However, an uncanny resemblance can be observed between the architecture of the Kakatiyas and Hoysalas- who were contemporaries of Kakatiyas ruling the neighbouring Kannada speaking region.

Agriculture:  The Harappan economy was an agrarian economy. They exploited the fertile flood plains of the Indus basin to the maximum. They knew the art of ploughing, but they used wooden ploughs. The plough marks discovered at Kalibangan and the discovery of a terracotta plough model at Banwali bear evidence to it. There is no evidence to show that canal water irrigation was known to the Harappans. The most important reason for the fertility of the Indus basin seems to have been the annual inundation of the Indus River.

Evidence for the cultivation of rice comes only from Lothal and Rangpur in Gujarat. No e...
