They are locally called "Pancha Pandava Rathas", though they have no relation to the Pandavas.

In temple building activity, the "Purna Kumbha" is the last element to be completed.
The placing of PurnaKumbha on the central top of the Shikhara of the temple called "Kendra Garbha", officially means the Final closure of the roof.

This final event is celebrated with great pomp as consecration of the Temple by organizing the festivals like "KumbhaAbhisheka".
