The religious architecture of the early hindu people was
a.) not so much constructed, but carved
b.) created by modifying existing buddhist temples
c.) usually built from stone blocks
d.) frequently built with cedar timbers

Hindu religious architecture is not so much constructed as carved, and the temples are often said to be more like huge, complex sculptures than architecture. One dramatic example is the temple at Ellora, which is completely carved out of a mountain (see 9-15). Other Hindu shrines were built to resemble mountains.
