UTTARA—A rectangular moulding. It is used sometimes to signify the whole architrave or the beam i.e. the lowest division of the entablature, which extends from column to column; also applied to the moulded frame which bounds the sides and head of a door or window opening. It also denotes a particular member of the pedestal and entablature and resembles the corona or the square projection of the upper part of the cornice, having a broad and vertical face generally plain. (cf: Rām Rāz. Ess. Arch. Hind. p. 25).
