Temple architecture, particularly under the Vijayanagara and Nayaka rulers, evolved dramatically with towering entrance gateways (raya gopurams), massive concentric enclosure walls and extensive thousand-pillared halls (mandapas).

I agree entirely with the statement. The Bhakti tradition became virtually indestructible because it detached religious practice from stationary monuments and elite priestly classes. Saints like Kabir, Mirabai and Guru Nanak composed memorable vernacular poetry (dohas and padas) that commoners could memorize, sing in households and carry across geographical regions.
