These Bijola temples illustrate a few characteristic features of the bhumjia style of temples; the super structure of the shikhara, which is covered with small urusranges (replicas of the shikharas), is divided by four latas or vertical bands rising up at the four cardinal points from the bhandras and sukanasag.
There are generally five to nine rows of urusrangas, decreasing in size as they rise to converage towards the neck f the shikhara below the amalaka, the sculptures are flanked by colonnetts and not crowned by a pediment but by a kutastambha which, interrupted by the multiple molding of the cornice supports one f the bottom row spirelets.
Also, the introduction of the Gavaksha motif on these temples is rare in north India The sukanra is also exceptionally high with niches rising one above the other on its side. The Ondheshwar temple illustrates all these features.
