However, the unmistakable Indian columns are composed of parts designed vertically, similarly to cut the temple base and is usually seen in all periods and styles. The basic parts of the columns are: bar (Uttara), the highest segment of the segment is the pillar, and these are the rays of the base temple. The region below is the section, that supports the columns. The section indicates the direction of the pillar and shortens the path between the columns. This section leads instead of the pillar directly and acts as a shock absorber for limited loads. Head or capital segment is called ghata, a regulated part or swelling that is fixed by the neck and the shoulder section (Lasuna). This information works like a mattress for the pile of structures. Under the bone and the pair is Lasuna band, a pan, malasthana and down band of another level. These two components are inseparable and are cut by a square of solitary stone.
