The Ground Plan of the Mandapa 367 The ground plans of the mandapas of almost all the
Caulukyan temples are square either plain or facetted with
lateral projections. The number of projections here either may
be one (bhadra) or two (bhadra & pratiratha) and hardly three,
(bhadra, pratiratha and nandi). The mandapa having rectangular
shape also are adorned with these lateral projections further
divisible into chases and recesses. So the ground plan of the
mandapas of the Caulukyan temples will look like a cruciform
in shape.
