(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 ante-chamber, and the garbhagṛiha 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.’—(Cunningham, *Arch. Surv. Reports*, Vol. ii, p. 419, no. 3.)
