thanks.
Namaste,
Agamas are not non-vedic,they are extensions(say,addendum) of the Vedas as they accept the authority of the Vedas but propound a different mode of worship.Also,the Agamic Devatas are the same Vedic Devatas.
From whatever I read,ancient temples were probably made up of brick or wood.And, were unlike later day stone based temples that are durable.Or the same temples were renovated and refurbished with stone.
