The southern temples have, as a rule, extensive pillared halls attached to them, larger in the later buildings than in the earlier; whereas the northern ones have seldom more than a moderate-sized single *maṇḍapa*, and that generally a closed one. The Chālukyan temples attempted to retain both, but their outer open pillared halls did not approximate at all in size to some of the halls of the south.
