South India has an ancient history of vibrant dynasties and flourishing kingdoms. Rulers and their successors took on ambitious architectural challenges to create better civic structures, temples, courtyards, wells, water tanks, forts and lighthouses for their kingdom. Sadly much of it has been destroyed over the centuries during battles and invasions; but some remains have survived in various heritage destinations in South India. These sanctums of historical wonder speak in superlatives of their Times - sense for aesthetics, historical documentation to the finest detail. Fulcrum will plan your tours to these treasure chests of heritage architectural wonders. Many of the heritage structures are temples which, even today people visit to worship. However a few destinations have been taken over by the archaeological department for protection against vandalism and are open for tourists at a scheduled time everyday. Some of the sculptures and artifacts have been secured and displayed in various museums in India.
