v1.c9.s2.t2.18

In the temples of Orissa, there are four such horizontal courses only, those of the ceiling (garbha muda) and shoulder-course (ratna muda); between these are the Balimuda and Lakhi muda; these are invisible from outside. Below the Ratnamuda, a small rectangular window opening admits some air and light into the interior of the 'gaṇḍi', the trunk of the Śikhara.
