one major thing I've noted is that Raja Ravi verma is primarily responsible for the modern depiction of various dieties which often differ from old art.

@eidolon@sun south india preserves a lot of more ancient architecture and art (as well as much of it's own) esp in a form prior to persian imperialism in the north.
@kaia@sun Babu is somewhat childish babble term denoting affection
baba -> is a babble word for father or respected person and -u is a diminutive kinda like chan but more informal and has a meaning indicating a doer or haver (english er)
