The view of the Shikhār of Shree Sita Ram temple on a crisp Jaipur morning. Shikhara (Śikhara/शिख़र), a Sanskrit word translating literally to "mountain peak", refers to the rising tower in the Jain & Hindu temple architecture of North India. Shikhara over the sanctum sanctorum where the presiding deity is enshrined is the most prominent and visible part of a Hindu temple of North India. In every style of shikhara/vimana (called in Southern India), the structure culminates with a "Kalasha", or sacred brass receptacle, at its peak. #Heritage #TempleArchitecture #Historic #Beaut #Shikhar #HinduTemple #Architecture #ArchitectureFeature #Beaut #Lit #MorningsInMyCity #TreasuresOfTheWalledCity #WalledCityOfJaipur #ChotiChopar #Jaipur #JaipurDiaries #JaipurJournal #Rajasthan #India #Wanderer #Wanderlust #Travel #Travelogue #TravelDiaries (at Choti Chopar, Jaipur)
