The Structural Temples of Gujarat
temple i. e. garbhagriha and mandapa. It is also known as
Korima峁囜笉apa, 18 Its shape must not be like a square court but
it should be rectangular.
(d) Ardhama峁囜笉apa: Leading up to the main hall or ma峁囜笉apa
is a porch. It is an open four-pillared pavilion in front of the
entrance door of mandapa. If the Mandapa has three entrance
doors, there shall be three such pavilions, one on each side.
In design and carving it resembles the man峁囜笉apa.
(e) Circumambulatory: This is known as Bhramani or
Pradak峁�inapatha and is a passage between the two-one outer
and the other inner-walls of the garbhagriha. A Temple, having
a garbhag峁沬ha ensconced by two walls and a circumambulatory
is known as S膩ndh膩ra Pr膩s膩da,
(f) Accessory ma峁囜笉apas: As the art of temple architecture
progressed and temple ritual developed the central man岣峚pa
was widened and sometimes also surrounded by other subsidiary
mandapas. The shrine having circumambulatory around it gave
scope for the enlargement of the mandapa. When a transcept
on each side of the central ma峁囜笉apa is added, the whole structure
is known as Mahamandapa. With the further development
of temple ritual more than one accessory man岣峚pas were added
to the front of the central mandapa in one axial alingment.
This sort of temple complex is best illustrated in the temples
of Orissa which include a Natama峁囜笉apa (dancing hall) and a
Rangama峁囜笉apa (musical hall) added in front of the Jagamohana
i. e. the central ma峁囜笉apa. These halls were invariably of one
storey only with a pyramidal roof above. 19
(iv) The Main Characteristics Of The Vertical Parts.
(a) Conception of The Limbs of the Human Body
Like many other types of the productions of the architect
and the craftsman, vertical parts of the devakula or dev膩laya
are conceived according to those of the human body.
