Source: eScholarship: The descent of scripture: a history of the KamikagamaŚālālakṣaṇa (शालालक्षण) refers to the “general characteristics of houses and buildings”, according to the Kāmikāgama: an ancient Śaiva Āgama scripture in 12,000 Sanskrit verses dating to at least the 5th century and represented as an encyclopedic account of ritual instructions (kriyāpāda).—In modern print editions, the Kāmika-āgama is structured in two major parts. The Pūrvabhāga consists of 75 chapters (paṭalas) [...] In Chapters 35 to 48, we also find an account of construction and architectural practices but with a particular focus on housing and civil buildings. Chapter 35 thus outlines general characteristics of houses and buildings (śālālakṣaṇa).
Shaiva (शैव, śaiva) or Shaivism (śaivism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshiping Shiva as the supreme being. Closely related to Shaktism, Shaiva literature includes a range of scriptures, including Tantras, while the root of this tradition may be traced back to the ancient Vedas.
