Vastushastra (architecture)
Source: Shodhganga: Temples of Salem region Up to 1336 ADNavaraṅga (नवरङ्ग).—Gūḍhamaṇḍapa (‘assembly hall’) is also referred to by the common name navaraṅga in the Kannada context. The name navaraṅga is given to this part of the building because this hall is generally square on plan. It consists of four pillars arranged in the centre, thus making the hall in to nine square bays. So the hall consisting of nine bays is called as navaranga. But this term in not used in the context of Tamil architecture. The usage of the term navaraṅga came to be applied for all the assembly halls in front of the sanctum/vestibule/ardhamaṇḍapa irrespective of the number of bays created by the assembly of the pillars.
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. Vastu also deals with the philosophy of the architectural relation with the cosmic universe.
