Descripción
A style of temple architecture found in southern India characterized by terraced towers, sometimes pyramidal in shape, with a domed structure at the top; each terraced storey is enclosed by a balustrade and ringed by small architectural aediculae. The aediculae can be square-domed structures on the corners (kutas) and intermediate barrel-vaulted halls (salas) connected by segments of a miniature vaulted cloister (hara). This style of stone temple architecture began in the seventh century and continued to develop over the centuries.
