India is the birthplace of the classic Indian architectural system known as Vastu Shastra. Principles of design, layout, measures, ground preparation, space arrangement, and spatial geometry are all covered in texts from the Indian subcontinent. Traditional Hindu and, occasionally, Buddhist ideas are incorporated into Vastu Shastras. By using geometric patterns (yantra), symmetry, and directional alignments, the designs seek to link architecture with nature, the relative functions of different elements of the structure, and ancient beliefs.
The textual part of Vastu Vidya, or the larger body of knowledge concerning ancient Indian architectural and design theories, is known as Vastu Shastra. With or without the aid of layout diagrams, Vastu Vidya knowledge is a collection of flexible ideas and concepts. Instead, these notions and ideas serve as models for how space and shape should be arranged within a building or group of buildings according to their respective purposes, usage, and the overall Vastu. The design of Mandir (Hindu temples) and the layout and design of homes, towns, cities, gardens, roads, water systems, stores, and other public spaces are all governed by the ancient Vastu Shastra principles.
Every piece of land or building is thought to have a spirit of its own, which is called Vastu Purusha. The Pada Vinyasa can be used to divide a site of any shape. Sites are identified by the quantity of squares they have. The sites vary in size from 1x1 to 32x32 (1024) squares.
Here are some examples of mandalas that have the names of the sites that correlate to them:
