The early structural temples of India, particularly those from the Gupta period, followed a foundational architectural plan that evolved from simple structures to complex towers. At the core of the layout was the Garbhagriha, a small, square sanctum where the idol of the deity was placed. This was usually preceded by a Mandapa, a pillared hall or porch that served as an entrance. Over time, a superstructure known as the Shikhara was built atop the Garbhagriha to distinguish it as a sacred site. These components—the Garbhagriha, the supporting pillars of the porch, and the rising Shikhara—became the standard elements of early Indian temple architecture.
