A concise introduction to Indian architecture

Introduction

The word architectural means a place suitable for dwelling. Let it be the forest of the ancients. There are many

types of structures, such as house, temple, reservoir, village, town, etc. The human civilization is as old as the

architecture. The basic principles of the scriptures are found in the Vedas, in the Vedic literature, in the Puranas and in

the Agamagrathas. There is a close relationship between architecture and astrology. The concept of sacrificial offerings

in the Shulba Sutras is the basis of this scripture.

ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ –

The Vedas are the scriptural sources of all these in the Indian philosophical tradition. There are four types of

scriptures. They also know the characteristics of the Vashiya-Kalpa-Vyakari-Vanrukta-Chhatda-Jyovatsavan. There are

four sub-divisions of the four divisions. The Ayurveda of the Rigveda, the Dhanuveda of the Yajurveda, and the Samiveda

Gatadhitied and the installation of Athitied. The concept of architecture is also a residential installation.

Architecture –

The discussion of architecture in the Indian contemporary tradition is available in all disciplines but

the sub-discipline of architecture in the form of status contains a detailed description of architecture. For this

reason, the text of this scripture is available in the Vedic literature since the Vedic period. The six parts of the

Vedas contain the astrological value of this scripture. There is a detailed discussion of the scriptures in the

Brihat Samvahata of the first Rahavamavahara. Similarly, these teachers have also included architecture in

the texts of astrology. A detailed discussion of architecture is available in the standard texts on architecture

and the standard texts on architecture. This shows that there is a difference between these two scriptures.

There is also the installation of the guest. In the architectural field, there is a variety of structures such as

houses, villages, cities, royal palaces, temples, wells, etc.

The literature department of astronomy contains the details of architecture. Astrology is the science of chronology so let

us discuss the various concepts of time astrology is this but time is relative to the country. The direction of the country also makes

the architecture of knowledge. Therefore, the inclusion of architecture in astrology is due to the interrelationship of the times and

places. Astrology does a subtle and subtle consideration of the various auspicious and inauspicious aspects of the respected genes

from the time of the Vedas. In this scripture there is a constant effort to properly consider the various good and evil aspects of this

human life.

The characteristics of time in the universe are:

Astrology is the science of chronology. There will be knowledge of the next tenth of time. Knowledge of the country before the

southern period is essential. Without knowledge of the country, there can be no knowledge of the southern times because the

southern times are relative to the country. Therefore, before considering the country, one must first consider the time, because

that time is the factor in the reality of the country. Time is the source of good and evil results for all living beings. Therefore, one

should never deviate from the order of time. This will be a fault and a sacrifice of property. Especially in the construction of

palaces of gods, goddesses and brahmins, in the installation of pillars, in the installation of doors,

Bhinanaan dear, ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ,

When starting a tower, when building an airport, when building a house, or when building a house, one should never delay in

time. The importance of time is demonstrated by the worldview in architecture that:

In the beginning, the time is tested for the sightseeing.

Time carries the good and evil fruits of the righteous.

In the course of time, error and material loss arise.

Even the goddesses, especially the goddesses, the brahmins and others.

At the beginning of the palace Column installation opinion.

The seeker who has attained auspiciousness should try the auspicious time.

Time may also vary by difference in country.

Ivashkata seat is recommended especially at auspicious times.

Therefore one should not skip the auspicious time with white effort

The importance of the Dadangvan Dhatari in the scriptures -

The pole can be the main cause of the means of knowledge because the pole is very stable and not known as the pole star. There is a slip between

the poles and the stars. The 'compass' of the present day knowledge is also indicated by the pole. In astrology, the ten means are under the shadow of Shanko.

The shadow of the moon at sunrise and sunset is the longest and the shadow of the moon is the least at noon. At noon the youngest shadow of Shanko will be in

the south. The shadow of the moon on the equinox is in the shooting at noon. The shadow will be lighter in the gentle northern parts of the country and in the

northern part of the northern part of the equator. Just as it is in the southern hemisphere. If there are more parts of the curve, the shadow will appear, but if there

are fewer parts of the curve, the shadow will appear on the north side. The shadow of the moon is always in the southern hemisphere at noon in the clear localities

in the Siti Sieshtasha regions. She is in a diagonal line. The line perpendicular to the diagonal is the real east line. In the shadow of Shanko, these books of

architecture provide a detailed explanation of the knowledge of the universe.

There is also a great importance in the architecture of the times. Especially in the palace of the goddess, in the palace of the king, in the installation of

the door in the house, without the installation of the sacrificial pot, the destruction of the family can also occur. In the context, the sage says:

In grace, especially in the house, in the doorway, in the pool.

In the foolishness of the teeth the family will be destroyed, therefore one should accomplish the directions.

The first should be clearly processed in the east in a well-balanced field.

Then he should destroy the house in the manner mentioned above
