About the Book
This comprehensive volume examines the subject of Vastusastra, tracing its conceptual roots in Silpasastra and its evolution through the Vedas, epic literature, Arthasastra, texts on Ayurveda, and the Kamasutra. It provides a detailed analysis of the essential elements (angas) of Vastusastra, addressing decision-making processes, construction methods, engineering techniques, and the roles and responsibilities of architects and engineers. The book also explores land selection, building materials, and rituals associated with completed structures, offering both historical depth and technical insights into the ancient science of architecture.
