The document discusses the architectural features of Pandya style temples from 1000-1250 AD in Tamil Nadu. Pandya style temples typically had rectangular ground plans with an emphasis on gateways called gopurams. Gopurams were rectangular in shape with stone lower floors and brick upper floors built at an inclination of 25 degrees. Pinnacles called shikharas were always used in odd numbers and the towers included heavily carved sculptures of Hindu mythologies in niches. Examples given include the 12-tiered 192 foot tower of the Srivilliputtur temple and the famous Meenakshi temple in Madurai.

External threats faced by India, China, and Southeast Asia included foreign invasions and rivalry between kingdoms. Their responses involved building physical barriers like walls and forts, maintaining large armies, developing diplomatic relationships through tribute systems and alliances, and integrating foreigners by accepting them into their societies. China built the Great Wall and had large armies with advanced weapons like gunpowder. Kingdoms in Southeast Asia formed diplomatic ties but their technologies were sometimes useless against European invaders. Overall, the regions defended themselves through military and diplomatic strategies while also integrating outsiders over time.Temples & Treasures of South India
