The importance given to image worship in India and belief in personal god led to the erection of temples. With the growth and development of Brahminical religion in Orissa, the construction of temples grew throughout the whole of Orissa as well as the k峁�etra. The concept of temples originated centuries past, with the idea of god in human form. Such a form warranted a habitation, a shelter and this need resulted in the structural edifices. The new style of temple architecture is found from the k峁�etra as well as the whole of Orissa. This style is slightly different from the North Indian temples of the N膩gara style and it is also called as Pro-Nagara and provincial style architecture of Orissa. The new style is labelled by archaeologists as "Kalinga Style" after the territory where the temples are remained. The style is also influenced by the temple style of South India (Dr膩vi岣峚) and North India (Nagara). The architectural texts of Orissa recognize three types of temples notice in the whole territory of Orissa. They are such as rekh膩, pi岣峢膩 (bhadra) and kh膩khar膩 types of temples. All the extant temples of 鈽� the k峁�etra represent rekha and pi岣峢膩 types of structures. Though the kh膩khar膩 order temples are not particularly found in the k峁�etra but it is rarely noticed at the adjacent areas of the k峁�etra. For instance, the Gange艣var墨 temple at Bay膩lisb膩t墨 of Gop and the Var膩h墨 temple at Caur膩si are the best specimens of the kh膩khar膩 style temple of Puri district. The kh膩khar膩 type of temples of Orissa is mainly dedicated to 艢膩kta deities only. Initially, the temples of Orissa as well as k峁�etra consist of two components such as vim膩na and jagamohana, which are erected at the time of construction but in later period, other two components (i.e. n膩峁璦ma峁囜笉apa and bhogaman岣峚pa) are added in front of the jagamohana. Each is a separate structure but integrated to form an effective and harmonious architectural organization. Some prominent temples of k峁�etra are Lord Jagannatha temple, Vima岣纺� temple, Lak峁�mi temple, Gundic膩 temple, which are the best specimens of the full fledged Kalinga Style temple architecture of Orissa. Most of the temples of k峁�etra have two or three components. The Orissan temple is remarkable for its plan and elevation. The interior ground plan of the temple is square as a rule, but externally because of projections, the temple appears to show a cruciform plan. The temples are distinguished by vertical projections called rathas or pagas. Depending on the number of pagas, the temples are classified into triratha, pancaratha, saptaratha and navaratha.
