The shikhara (superstructure) is divided into nine storeys, marked by eight bhumi-amalakas (a segmented or notched stone disk, usually with ridges on the rim) positioned at each of the four corners. Above this truncated top of the shikhara, standard elements such as amalaka, kalasha (pitcher), etc., are present.
