If the same structure is provided with low base, neck and apex – all in circular form and
if all other parts are rendered in the manner explained before, it is desired by the
experts to call it ‘Sribhogam’.

The engaged structure(sectional ower) should be embellished with square and elongated
aediculae and niches rendered in the form of circular, elliptical, apsidal, octagonal or
hexagonal. Based on the width of the straight part of the apsidal form or on the diameter
of the circular form, the proportionate measure of aediculae and others may with decreased
height or with equal height. Or, this may be one part out of eight parts, one part out of ten
parts or one part out of ten parts of the height of the upper portion. The learned architect
should decide upon the proportionate measures in such a way that they render elegance
and strength to the whole structure.
