I have generally completed my ancient Indian set, but i am unsure if the third main piece, the rightmost one, a tower, looks particularly Indian. I gave it the roof of the stupa at Sanchi i also created for the set, and some other details from the main centerpiece, the Madurai Meenaksi, but the main body of the tower is tibetan...

So, if anyone knowledgeable in Indian architecture of the period, and more specifically towers is here, can you comment on the authenticity of this particular tower? :)

Awesome graphics set imo

I can confirm that all the buildings in that are of Indian architectural style. It is a mix of different ones from different parts of India but they are all Indian nonetheless. The main temple is South Indian from the medieval era and onwards, Sanchi stupa is from central and ancient India, and the towers are Rajastani.

You could put erotic sculptures on some of them but I guess they wouldn't show up well from a distance.
