Summary

Description
English: The plan of Teli Ka Mandir, also referred Telika Temple or Telika Mandir. It features a rectangular sanctum which is unusual in a Hindu temple where square sanctums predominate. According to Michael Meister, the sanctum of this temple is actually a stack of 2 squares, or more precisely the temple has a 4x6 square plan. Its outer dimensions were enlarged to a 8x10 square structure. This temple was an innovative experimentation, not only in its base plan, but its extensive use of 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 2:3, 3:5, 2:5 and 4:5 harmonic ratios in its architecture.
