The Nagara style of temple architecture is primarily found in the northern regions of India, particularly in areas such as Rajasthan, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and parts of Maharashtra. The Nagara style is characterized by its distinctively curvilinear towers or shikhara, which are often ornately decorated with intricate carvings. These temples typically have a square or rectangular sanctum with a tower rising above it, along with a pillared mandapa or hall. The Nagara style is closely associated with Hindu temple architecture in North India and is considered one of the major architectural styles in the country.
