The vertical proportions are meted out with reference to the height. It is a principle of the South Indian proportions that the total height of the temple is subdivided into a certain number of parts; each of these again is subdivided; the latter divisions are not directly referable to the division of the ground plan although the height itself is expressed in terms of the Mānasūtra.⁵⁶
