MATHS IN INDIAN MONUMENTS
Mathematics and architecture are related, since, as with other arts , architects use mathematics for several reasons. KANDARIYA MAHADEV TEMPLE In India fractal geometry has been implemented in art and architecture for the last 1700 years. Fractal geometry has been used to create detailed layouts of temples. The intricate designs of each element of the temple structure were made using fractal geometry. The design of the shikhar (spire) of the Kandariya Mahadev temple at Khajuraho built in 11th century AD has been created using fractal geometry. Here, the main shikhar is surrounded by its smaller replicas. These small shikhars are surrounded by their still smaller replicas. This pattern is repeated at decreasing scales. CHARMINAR Charminar is built on a square structure and has four grand arches and four minarets on each corner that are built into the main structure.
