Pancharatha
A Hindu temple is a ''pancharatha'' when there are five ''ratha'' (on plan) or ''paga'' (on elevation) on the tower of the temple (generally a ''shikhara''). The rathas are vertical offset projection or facets. The name comes from the sanskrit ''Pancha'' (=five) and ''Ratha'' (=chariot), but the link with the concept of chariot is not clear. There are also temples with three rathas (''triratha''), seven rathas (''saptaratha'') and nine rathas (''navaratha'').
