v4.c29.s5.98
Of the four chapters of the *Bhavishya-purāṇa* devoted to the subject, three deal with sculpture and one with architecture proper comprising the construction of temples. The most striking feature of this *Purāṇa* is that the number, names and other details of the buildings described in it are identical with the twenty types found in the *Matsya-purāṇa* and in the *Bṛihat-saṁhit* of Varahamihira.¹
