Source: Shodhganga: Temple management in the ĀgamasNālādisthāpana (नालादिस्थापन) refers to a certain ceremony that is to be performed while establishing a temple or a new settlement.—The Ādiśaiva has a critical role to play in the establishment of a temple or even a new settlement, right from selecting and clearing the ground. [...] The Ādiśaiva is also required to perform the nālādisthāpana. [...] The Ācāryas were honoured with dakṣiṇā on the occasion of [various] ritual ceremonies. Besides that, they received a share of the naivedya and nirmālya each day. [...] At the end of the nālādisthāpana, there is a reminder to give the Ācārya, Mūrtipa, Daivajña and Sthapati (sculptor), the appropriate dakṣiṇā, after honouring them with new clothes and gold.

The Pūrvabhāga consists of 75 chapters (paṭalas) [...] Chapter 59 explains the placement of particular features such as the drainage outlet (nālādisthāpana). Chapter 60 outlines the characteristics of multi-storey temples, ranging from one-storey to 16-storey designs. Chapter 61 describes the placement of crowning bricks.
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.
