It is a tall building with a shape of sugarloaf, looking like a Shikhara. It covers and protects the sanctum sanctorum (Garbhagriha). Example: The Shikhara of the Lingaraja Temple in Bhubaneswar • Pidhadeul: It is a square building, typically with a pyramid-shaped roof, rather like the vimana towers over the sanctuaries of temples in southern Dravidian architecture. For the halls or service rooms of the temple. Example: The Jaga Mohan (assembly hall) of the Sun temple in Konarak • Khakra deula is a rectangular building with a truncated pyramid-shaped roof, like the gopuras.
