Vastushastra (वास्तुशास्त्�, vāstuśāstra) refers to the ancient Indian science (shastra) of architecture (vastu), dealing with topics such architecture, sculpture, town-building, fort building and various other constructions.

General definition (in Hinduism)
: Shodhganga: The significance of the mūla-berasղ岵岹 is another name for Madyanthinar, whose story is associated with the ٳ-ܰṇa of the Thillai Nataraja Temple in Cidambaram (Chidambaram) which is one of the Pañcasabhā or “five halls where Śiva is said to have danced�.—According to legends, the origin of the sthala is described thus: [...] In Tillaivana he erected a hut for him and worshipped the ṅg everyday. Śiva blessed Madyanthinar with the limbs of a tiger to climb the trees without slipping and the sight to see in darkness too. Siva blessed Madyanthinar with such blessings so that, as per his wish, he could collect the flowers before sunrise even if there was fog everywhere. The lord, after showering these graces, named him ղ岵岹 (man with tiger’s limbs) and so the forest came to be called Vyāghrapuram and Puliyūr. Later, ղ岵岹 married the sister of Sage Vasiṣṭha according to his father’s desire and they lived happily, worshipping the Tirumūlanāda (Śiva in ṅg form). In course of time, a male child was born to ղ岵岹 and the child was named Upamanyu. The child was brought up in sage Vasiṣṭha’s place.
