Explanation by: Admin

The Sikhara or curvilinear tower is a feature typical of Nagara style temples of North India.

  • The Chola temples are primarily built in the Dravidian style, which is characterized by Vimana (tiered pyramidal tower over the sanctum), Gopuram (ornate monumental gateway towers), and Mandapam (pillared halls or pavilions).

So, Sikhara is not an important feature of Chola temples.
