Answer:
The Dravida temple, unlike the Nagara temple, is surrounded within a compound wall.
In the centre of the front wall is a Gopura/Gopuram, which is an entrance gateway.
Vimana refers to the shape of the main temple tower (shikhara in nagara style).
The word Shikhara is only used in south India to refer to the temple's crowning part, which is usually fashioned like a tiny stupika or an octagonal cupola (this is equivalent to the amalaka or kalasha of north Indian temples).
