Vastushastra (architecture)

: Google Books: Indian Temple Architecture: Form and Transformation

ҳṭa (घट).—Part of the standard pilaster;—This is the head of the column, the capital. Held by the neck and shoulders of the pillar (ī and śܲԲ), and at first a rounded, swollen member, the ṭa is unmistakably a head. It is at the centre-line, or eye-level of the ṭa, that the visual forces of a pillar form find equilibrium. From here the predominant flow of the mouldings diverges. Maṇḍi and dzپ strain upwards to meet the descending weight, and it will be seen that mainly the lower parts fall, hang or sweep downwards.
