Small Huts are denoted by the Sanskrit term Kūṭa, which in ancient Indian architecture refers to a specific part of the Temple, according to the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa, an ancient Sanskrit text which (being encyclopedic in nature) deals with a variety of cultural topics such as arts, architecture, music, grammar and astronomy.—Kūṭa means the top portion of a building which is situated on the kaṭi i.e., the hip part of the temple. According to the Śabdakalpadruma, kuṭa means small hut. Actually in Hindu temple architecture, small huts in particular shapes are seen to be constructed above the kaṭi portion of a temple.
