The aesthetic sense of individuals differs, though in architecture there is a general standard of beauty. According to the standard treatises of Europe and of India the architectural beauty is largely dependent upon proportionate measurement of dimensions, disposition of component members and types of verandahs, balconies, doors, windows, arches, porches, parapets and domes. The aspect of the site and orientation of the buildings, together with the layout of surrounding courtyards, lawns and gardens, add to the beauty and utility alike.
