Sunak, Nilakantha templeapproximated in other examples in Kathiawad,consisted of a closed pillared hall, octagonal inshape, preceding a square cella surmountedoriginally by a sikhara.Something of the same arrangement is foundin the ruined temples of Xavalakha at Sejakpurand Ghumli. The polygonal hall with its multiplestep-backs in plan precedes a cella set inthe core of an attached sikhara. These pillaredporches in western India were covered with lowterraced roofs, some of them perhaps originallyin several storeys. 17On the exterior the temples of Gujarat andKathiawad are generally divided into threezones of horizontal ornament and mouldingsincluding the base, the main body of the wallup to the cornice, and the roof or attic; over thecella, of course, the roof is replaced by the sikhara.These divisions are in turn separated intonumerous horizontal courses, each specificallynamed and its exact measurement prescribedin the sastras. The sikharas differ from the usualIndo-Aryan type in being composed of clusteredturrets or urusrihgas, each a replica of the maintower, and almost free-standing from the fabricof the principal spire. The reconstruction of thetemple of Nilakantha at Sunak [226] gives us avery good idea of the original elevation of thesesanctuaries.Among the better-preserved examples is theSurya shrine at Modhera in Gujarat [227]. It isbuilt of the soft golden-brown sandstone of theregion, and its derelict splendour is romanticallyreflected in the disused tank or pool for ablutions
