The general structure with its well-proportioned levels and the finial (amalaka, kalasha) gives the superstructure a "majestic" appearance. The decorative ornaments are brought to a new level compared to the previous temples. It is believed that the temples of Dilwara are the most beautiful example of Jain's architectural perfection. The ornamental detail that extends onto carefully carved ceilings, doors, pillars and panels is simply wonderful. Shatrunjaya, on top of a steep hill, is full of temple complexes with individual examples built in the standard 'nagara' style: that is complete with shikharas and ceilings with an angle of 45 degrees above the mandapas.
