Discuss the relationship between society and the architecture produced by that society.Give suitable examples.

The relationship between society and the architecture it produces is intricate and deeply rooted in the cultural, religious, economic, political, and social fabric of that society.

In the context of Indian culture and its relevance to tourism, this relationship becomes even more prominent, as India’s rich architectural heritage draws millions of visitors from across the world.
