4. The gateway of the temple is called
a. Shikhara is correct .
- Shikhara is a Sanskrit word translating literally to "mountain peak" .
- it's refers to the rising tower in the Hindu temple architecture of North India, and also often used in Jain temples.
- A shikhara over the garbhagriha chamber where the presiding deity is enshrined is the most prominent and visible part of a Hindu temple of North India.
The current structure of the Mahabodhi Temple may represent a restoration of earlier work of the 2nd or 3rd century CE.
A plaque from Kumrahar dated 150-200 CE, based on its dated Kharoshthi inscriptions and combined finds of Huvishka coins, already shows the Mahabodhi Temple in its current shape with a stepped truncated pyramid and a stupa finial on top, together with devotional images of the Buddha and the elephant-crowned Pillar of Ashoka next to the entrance.
