The architecture of the Lemurians closely resembles that of the hoysala empire.

The hoysala had many military conquests throughout their history, however their fame comes from their unique and elaberote temples and carvings, such as Kali the hindu goddess of strenth, as well as other hindu gods. The Indian temple in The 7th Voyage of Sindbad features numeorus simliarites to the architecture and art style of the Hoysala Empire, and has many features based off of their unique art style.
