v1.c32.5

The dedicated Prāsādas are described in detail here. Some of these varieties are illustrative of some of the fundamental factors of the origin of the temple from the points of view of materials, shapes and super-structures. Among them the Prāsāda, Layana and Guhādhara are most respresentative of the Prāsādas in the monuments. Similarly the Prāsāda Paṭṭiśa; the temple made of cloth, Prāsāda Vibhava made of clay or wood; and others made of brick or stone, are also remarkable.
