"The temples at Bhuvanesvara ... differ very markedly from those in the west in being almost entirely astylar—pillars having been introduced in later additions. They have the early form of *śikhara*—nearly perpendicular below, but curving near the summit; and the crowning member has no resemblance to any thing like the small domes on Chālukyan spires.”
