It underlines the role of Jyotisa (astrology) in Vastu principles.
The book will stimulate greater interest in ancient Vastu principles amongst modern architects and engineers and present them a new perspective which will raise their creativity to new untouched heights.

Vastu and Temple Architecture comprising thirty-three articles in all. Their contributors represent a range of viewpints on Vastu principles.
