The prevalent style of temple architecture in northern India is known as nagara. Northern temples are often constructed on a stone platform with steps leading up to it. Unlike South India, there is typically an absence of elaborate boundary walls or gateways. The temple architecture’s form is influenced by ancient building forms existing before the fifth century CE.
Variations in the shape of the shikhara lead to different subdivisions of Nagara temples.
