The creation of an independent kingdom of the Marathas resulted in a new era for temples. While temples had been continuously built in the Deccan even after the fall of the Yadavas, the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries witnessed the rise of the Marathas as major temple patrons. They re-consecrated older sites, and also created new networks of worship. The architecture of these temples ranged from bhumija and śekhari revivals to completely novel forms.
