Personally, I like hindu architecture, even though it has a tendency to be over-busy and/or gaudy. The fact that the buildings are religious is neither here nor there for me. I can equally enjoy looking at catholic cathedral, ancient greek temples, and muslim mosques.
Some of my favourite hindu buildings.
The Lakshmi temple near Hassan, Karnataka:

The Brihadeswara in Tanjore, Tamil Nadu:

None of these has been built recently, of course.

He who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.
