In Hinduism
Vastushastra (architecture)
Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (architecture)Susaṃsthāna (सुसंस्थान) refers to a “good design” (for the construction of a dwelling), according to the Mohacūrottara (verse 4.234-243).—Accordingly, [while describing the construction of the maṭha]—“[...] One should build the dwelling for ascetics with the same measurements and a good design (susaṃsthāna), [and] performing the veneration of the site (vāstupūjā), out of a desire to attain great merit. I will now describe to you this great merit in full. The reward gained from establishing a mobile image [i.e., an ascetic] in a maṭha is the same as the reward gained from establishing a fixed image in a temple. [...]”.
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.
