Explanation
In classic Hindu temple architecture, the structural components include:
- Garbhagriha: The innermost sanctum sanctorum where the primary deity is placed.
- Mandapa: A pillared outdoor hall or pavilion used for public rituals and ceremonies.
- Antarala: A small vestibule or antechamber that acts as a transition space between the Garbhagriha and the Mandapa.
Tribhanga is not an architectural part of a temple. It is a specific standing posture used in traditional Indian sculpture and classical dance (notably Odissi). The term refers to a "three-bend" pose where the body is curved at the neck, waist, and knee. While sculptures depicting this pose often adorn temple walls, the term itself describes a figurative stance rather than a structural element.
