A further classification (Saṁkīrṇa, etc.) is made with regard to materials of which these Prākāra-buildings are made (103). The materials are same as in other cases, namely, stone, brick and wood (102). The Gopura or gate-house of the first court (antar-maṇḍala) is technically called Dvāra-śobhā or beauty of the gate; and those of the second, third, fourth and fifth court are called respectively Dvāra-śāla, Dvāra-prāsāda, Dvāra-harmya, and Mahā-gopura (Ibid. XXXIII. 9).
