An amalaka, is a segmented or notched stone disk, usually with ridges on the rim, that sits on the top of a Hindu temple shikhara or main tower. According to one interpretation, the amalaka represents a lotus, and thus the symbolic seat for the deity below. Another interpretation is that it symbolizes the sun, and is thus the gateway to the heavenly world.
