The *Nārada-purāṇa* practically completes the *Purāṇas*’ contribution to architecture by describing in a single chapter the construction of pools, wells and tanks, as well as temples. The *Brahmāṇḍa-purāṇa* also describes in a single chapter the construction of temples and residential buildings. The *Vāyu-purāṇa* also in a single chapter describes the construction of various temples upon mountain-tops many of which still exist on several peaks of the Himalaya and the Vindhya ranges.
