(84) “Its (Kandāriya Mahādeo temple's) general plan is similar to that of most of the larger mediaeval temples of Northern-India (see its plan, plate xcvii). It has the usual ardha-maṇḍapa or portico, the maṇḍapa or nave, the mahā-maṇḍapa or transept, the antarāla or antechamber, and the garbha-gṛiha or sanctum, each of which has its separate pinnacled roof rising in regular gradation from the low pyramid of the entrance to the lofty spire of the sanctum.”
