The Hindu Temple v2.c12.43

v2.c12.43

The Mūlamañjarī (the ‘root’ or central, main Śikhara) is a Latārekhā of the Saptaratha variety; its curve is steeper than that drawn by ‘ṣaḍguṇa sūtra’; each of its four sides has seven facets (‘pāga’ in Orissan terminology) including the corner portion (koṇaka-pāga) which itself has one more minor central offset; the subordinate Śṛṅgas, alike in their ‘structure’, however have but five buttresses on each side (pañcaratha).
