The chapter on ornaments (\*see\* Bhūshaṇa) and mouldings (\*cf.\* Stambha) will show a high sense of æsthetics. A knowledge of the climate and weather of the locality where a house is to be built is essential to their work. The astrological and astronomical calculation is also frequently referred to.
