Source: eScholarship: The descent of scripture: a history of the KamikagamaDvāramāna (द्वारमान) refers to the “dimensions of doors”, according to the Kāmikāgama: an ancient Śaiva Āgama scripture in 12,000 Sanskrit verses dating to at least the 5th century and represented as an encyclopedic account of ritual instructions (kriyāpāda).—In modern print editions, the Kāmika-āgama is structured in two major parts. The Pūrvabhāga consists of 75 chapters (paṭalas) [...] Chapters 9 to 34 present a general account of the principles and preliminary rites for the construction of temples, houses, buildings, and settlements. [...] In Chapter 24, layouts are presented of different constructions and settlements. Chapter 25 outlines the dimensions of streets and doors (vīthidvārādimāna). In Chapter 26, the placement of various divinities in villages and other settlements is explained
Shaiva (शैव, śaiva) or Shaivism (śaivism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshiping Shiva as the supreme being. Closely related to Shaktism, Shaiva literature includes a range of scriptures, including Tantras, while the root of this tradition may be traced back to the ancient Vedas.
