The Hindu Temple v2.c13.s1.65

v2.c13.s1.65

In their elevation, the complex shapes of the fourth and the following groups show combinations of peaked roofs and ridged roofs. They form the tapering superstructure. The ridged roof (Valabhī) however is absent from the eighth group which is representative of the temples which are particularly those of the 'Viṣṇudharmottara'. A whole chapter (LXXXVII) treats of one temple which conforms with the main characteristics of the eighth group but is of greater importance even than the temple Rājarāja. It is complete in its parts and is the architectural shape of its iconography. In this respect the temples Garuḍa and Kamala preceded it genealogically.
