In Hinduism
Vastushastra (architecture)
: The India Center: Architecture (Vastu Shastra)A home is called Manushyalaya, literally, 鈥淗uman Temple鈥�, as in Indian architecture, the dwelling is itself a shrine. It is not merely a shelter for human beings in which to rest and eat. The concept behind house design is the same as for temple design, so sacred and spiritual are the two spaces.
The 鈥渙pen courtyard鈥� system of house design was the national pattern in India before Western models were introduced. The order introduced into the 鈥渂uilt space鈥� accounts for the creation of spiritual ambiance required for the indweller to enjoy spiritual well-being and material welfare and prosperity.
A typical layout of a square building, with a grid of 9x9=81 squares, is meant for family persons (for scientists, artists and yogi a grid of 8x8=64 is prescribed). The space occupied by the central 3x3=9 squares is called Brahma-sthana.
Vastushastra (啶掂ぞ啶膏啶む啶多ぞ啶膏啶む啶�, v膩stu艣膩stra) refers to the ancient Indian science (shastra) of architecture (vastu), dealing with topics such architecture, sculpture, town-building, fort building and various other constructions. Vastu also deals with the philosophy of the architectural relation with the cosmic universe.
