Burgess, following the classification of Fergusson, has included the style found at Puri, Bhuvaneśvara, and Kanarak under the Indo-Aryan or Northern style. But he has admitted that it “may be separated into a distinct order.” What is called the Vesara in the *Mānasāra* seems to be identical with this style. The main characteristic feature of this style is, according to the *Mānasāra*, its round shape, and this is clearly exhibited by temples and images in the Orissan countries.
