does anyone have info on temple Agama SAstram?

[Guest guest]

Regarding the query of SrI Arun Kumar and the response below, I have

briefly gone through the book by SrI Ganapati Sthapati. I was

looking for information on the differences between the temple

construction between the two vaishNava Agama-s, and did not find much

that was clear from the book. The book deals extensively with the

sculpturing of idols etc. While obviously it is a book by a great

and well-recognized sthapati, it is not devoted to specifically

temple construction, but more to the sculpturing of idols (both

vaishNava and Saiva), as far as my memory serves me. There is a

series on Agama-s published by Kalpataru Research Academy, consiting

of 10 volumes or so, that deal with various aspects of Agama. Again,

nothing specific to the vaishNava temple construction that I can

recall. I have posted about seven write-ups on pAncarAtra Agama in

general in the bhakti list some four or five years back, but I have

specifically not dealt with temple construction in that write-up.

The bottom line is, that I have looked for books on vaishNava temple

cosntruction, and have not come across a satisfactory description so

far. Some people have told me that the Melkote SamskRt Academy has

several publications on Agama-s, but my letters to them have met with

no response.
