Hemadpanti style
✓
Answer
Hemadpanti temples were primarily built in 12th- 13th century.
The main feature of this style is its masonry. The walls are built without mortar, by locking stones, using the tenon and mortise joints technique.
Hemadpanti temples are built in square¬shaped and star-shaped designs. In the star¬shaped plan, the outer walls of a temple has a zigzag design which gives interesting effect of alternating light and shadow.
Tourists are attracted to see these beautiful designs. Hemadpanti temples are found at several places in Maharashtra.
