Prayogamañjarī (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.
