Source: Google Books: Consecration Rituals In South AsiaPrayogamañjarī (प्रयोगमञ्जरी) is the name of a text dealing with Jīrṇoddhāra (“temple renovation”).—Most of the ritual texts of Kerala [such as the Prayogamañjarī] concern temples. Very often they also contain a chapter, usually called jīrṇoddhāra (“renovation”) devoted to the renovation of temples, which also discusses the re-installation of a new liṅga or idol in the place of a damaged one. The Prayogamañjarī deals with jīrṇoddhāra in Chapter 21 (96 verses). Available edition: Tripunithura, Kerala.
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.
India history and geography
Source: Yale Journal of Music & Religion: Ritual Music in Contemporary Brahmanical Tantric Temples of KeralaPrayogamañjarī (प्रयोगमञ्जरी) is the name of a work dealing with temple architecture, written by Ravi (ca. eleventh century).—When, in the early twelfth century, the Cēra kingdom came to an end, small kingdoms headed by less powerful chieftains emerged. [...] While important works were written in Kerala during this period on temple architecture and Tantric rites of different sects, [such as the Śaiva Prayogamañjarī by Ravi (ca. eleventh century)] [...], Buddhism and Jainism, which had flourished for centuries in the country, were eradicated.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
