In the 10th century, another type of shikhara or tower created called sekhari. In this part, in the form of a tower created Latin focal of at least a row of half needles including the sides and on the bottom hung with spirals. Corners present here are loaded with spirals, the whole mass of the carved masonry reminiscent of a mountain with lots of auxiliary peaks (South Asian arts, 2018). Temple in northern India, Latin and sekhari are generally in the holy place and phamsana are usually found in the mandapa. In the temple of south India, the super structure is that of the script of kutina and shala. The super structure has a pyramidal shape and is part of adventurous stories. Each story recreates the main story and imagines that it has its "wall" enclosed by a parapet. In antiquated temples, these adventurous stories of the superstructure with its parapets proved increasingly ornamental, so that over time they became very enriching groups around the pyramidal superstructure (South Asian arts, 2018). The vented structure surmounted by a strong arch or dome or a roofing vault. The first is kutina and the second is the shala script. The structure is delegated with a pot and finial.
