In Hinduism
Vastushastra (architecture)
Source: Shodhganga: Temples of Salem region Up to 1336 ADKalyāṇamaṇḍapa (कल्याणमण्डप) literally means the marriage or the wedding pavilion. It is used to conduct the marriage ceremony regularly conducted for the presiding deity of the temple as a part of worship or service to the deity. There is no specific place or plot prescribed in the texts in the temple complex for the construction of kalyāṇamaṇḍapa. Accordingly the kalyāṇamaṇḍapa are found constructed in different parts or directions of the temple premises. The kalyāṇamaṇḍapa is a architectural member found in the temples of Vijayanagara period and onwards.
Vastushastra (वास्तुशास्त्र, 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.
