The best looking architectural styles for temples in my opinion are kath-khuni of Himalayan region and the East Asian styles.
These temples located in mountains surrounded by forest are peak aesthetically.
In terms of carvings, Mainland India wins obviously.
For buddhists, it was Bhaskara who represented Vedanta & they have ignored all other philosophers in their literature.
Unfortunately for the guy who started the trend of calling Shankara crypto-buddhist, Buddhists themselves thought of him as a crypto-buddhist.
This explains why Nimbarka sampradaya was unaware of Bhagavata purana till Keshava Kashmiri (a Pancharatrika) integrated it into their system.
It was written long after Nimbarka in kevaladvaita circles down south.
@agnimaan@Kul_Mimansaka Nakamura was actually wrong as Bhavaviveka, Santaraksita and Kamalasila cite & treat Gaudapada as representative of Vedanta
4) Sphotavada: All Purva Mimamsa & Vedanta adhere to Varnavada following Upavarsha. Pancharatra & Pratyabhijna too follow Varnavada. While Bhartrharians created & follow Sphotavada, where the ultimate Sphota is Shabdabrahman.
