Summary

Description
English: Sikhara is the complete tower above the sanctum in north / east / west / central Indian temples (in south India, a sikhara is the upper decorated part of the Vimana, not the whole tower).

A Sikhara features motifs and decorations integrated into a mountain-like shape. Square or rotating square plans are common. On top of the tower is amalaka and then kalasa.
