Vastushastra (architecture)
Source: Shodhganga: Elements of Art and Architecture in the Trtiyakhanda of the Visnudharmottarapurana (vastu)Rough stones are undesirable and not recommended if those Stone are to be used as a Material for the Construction of Temples, according to the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa, an ancient Sanskrit text which (being encyclopedic in nature) deals with a variety of cultural topics such as arts, architecture, music, grammar and astronomy.—Finding of proper types of materials is one of the important aspects for any construction. Indian scriptures state that to procure the stones, the astrologer and the architect should go to mountain and examine the stones. The Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa specifies that some stones which are [e.g., rough, etc.] are to be totally abandoned. [...] So, it can be said that in the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa, the collection of materials for the construction of temple does not suggest any process that harms others.
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.
