Vastu-shastra (Vol. I: Hindu Science of Architecture; Vol. II: Hindu Canons of Iconography and Painting) v1.c56.48

v1.c56.48

Now coming to another topic in hand, the origin of the temple architecture, a very learned exposition of it is found in the ‘Hindu Temple’ by Prof. Stella Kramrisch. Similarly a good many scholars notably Fergusson, Havell, etc. have also treated this subject with a master hand. But as this is a study of architectural treatise, it would not be proper for me to enter into any lengthy digression on the subject. I would, therefore, confine myself to each of those salient points for which I can gather some material in the text.
