Nagara style of temples can be found in Odisha. The main architectural features of Odisha temples are classified into three orders, i.e. rekhapida, pidhadeul, and khakra. • Rekha in Oriya means a straight line. 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. The name comes from Khakharu (=canteen (bottle)) because of the shape of the roof. The temples of the feminine deities as Shakti are the temple of that type. Example: Baitala Deula, Bhubaneswar (dedicated to Chamunda).
