The main styles of North Indian temples include Latina, Phamsana, Shekhari and Valabhi types. Valabhi style of temples comprises ayatakara talachhanda yojana(rectangular ground plan), a doorway to one of its longer parasvas (side) and a semi- cylindrical sikhara (superstructure). About fifty percent of Valabhi style temples are in Uttarakhand. Latina types are mainly used for housing the garbhagriha. Phamsana type shikhara are broader and shorter than Latina type. In many north Indian temples, the phamsana type is used for mandapas while the main garbhagriha is housed in a Latina building.
