"Though there has been considerable interest in vastusastra in recent times and the orientational aspects of vastusastra have been often discussed, little is known of the essential elements that constitute vastusastra and its scientific application in the present day. Based on extensive research, the work, vastusastra attempts to address this aspect. Examining comprehensively the subject of vastusastra: its conceptual roots in Silpasastra and its later evolution as dealt with in the Vedas, the epic literature, Arthasastra, literature on ayurveda and Kamasutra literature, the volume analyses technical aspects of vastusastra by concentrating on the essential elements (angas) of vastusastra which involve decision-making and actual construction methods, art of engineering and role and responsibilities of engineers, and aspects related to land materials and rituals associated with use of building after its construction. It discusses the ecofriendly life style of the ancient Indians based on vastusastra principles. Giving minute attention to details, it focuses on the application of vastusastra in the present-day society--how the Vastusastra principles can be scientifically applied and the potential of application of Vastusastra keeping in view modern trends in architectural science and civil engineering. "The book will be useful for students and scholars of architecture and engineering and those interested in Vastusastra. " (jacket).…

Hardcover. Etat : New. History of Benares (from the earliest times down to 1937) is a remarkable work on the sacred city of Kashi/Banaras. Kashi was first mentioned in the Atharva Veda. The Skand Purana detailed Shiva's arrival in the city and his pledge to never forsake it. Along with Videha, Kashi acquired early fame as a centre of Upanishadic discourse. Kashi experienced its first Muslim attack in 1033 CE. Thereafter it suffered repeated assaults. The net result was that Banaras of the Puranic mahatmyas was completely obliterated. Professor Altekar has provided a valuable account of the Vishvanath temple built by Narayana Bhatta/Todar Mal in 1585. He asserts that it was built on the site of an earlier 14th-15th-century temple, that was pulled down, probably on the directions of Sikandar Lodi. Aurangzeb's order for the demolition of the Vishvanath temple was recorded by Saqi Mustaid Khan, in his Maasir-i-Alamgiri. In 1777 CE, Ahilya Bai Holkar of Indore built the present Vishvanath temple on a plot of land about fifty feet square. In the concluding section of his book, Professor Altekar highlights the contribution of the Rajas of Banaras in a remarkable revival of Hindu traditions. No less commendable was the initiative of Pandit Madan Mohan Malviya in establishing the Benares Hindu University. The Introduction and Notes at the end of each chapter have been written by Meenakshi Jain, which further adds value to this work. Some illustrations have also been added to enhance the visual appeal of the book.…
