Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -North India is landlocked while South India is surrounded by the Arabian Sea and Indian Ocean. Generally, weather in the north is cool and dry in winters and hot in summers, with monsoon season from June until mid-September. Not surprisingly, the Himalayas play a dominant role in North India’s weather patterns.

Detailed explanation-2: -While Northern Indian temples lead from a gate of lower height to a much taller tower above the garba griha, in the southern variety, the biggest towers, the gopurums, enormous gate-pyramids, adorn the entrance, dominate the temple site, and lead to the smaller tower of the temple itself.

Detailed explanation-3: -In ancient times, maps were usually drawn with east at the top, since that way Jerusalem was toward the top of the map. Later, maps were oriented with north at the top for sailing ships, since that made it easier to do navigational calculations and use a magnetic compass.

Detailed explanation-4: -Most Hindus in the northern parts of the country consider Hinduism as the only acceptable religion and mistrusts adherents of all other faiths. In striking contrast, the majority of southern Hindus accepts other religions and trusts their followers.
