Shikhara, also known as Gopuram Kalasams, is a collection of designed Kalasams or sacred pitchers stacked on top of each other to form a whole shape that is placed on top of temples. They are also known as Temple Kalasams due to their hallowed significance. This Kalasam is made from copper. Temple Kalasam, also known as Gopura Kalasam, is significant in temples because it is thought to resist harmful energies and be a protector. When the pitcher is consecrated with sacred waters, the Kumbabhishekam ceremony is also conducted in honor of the Gopura Kalasam.
