Silpa Prakasa by Ramacandra Mahapatra Kaula Bhattaraka: Medieval Or...
"The Silpa Prakasais an important addition to the existing literature on Indian Silpa Texts." the text goes into a great detail of the architecture, the iconography and the symbolism of all the parts of the temple. Its unique contribution lies in the description of Yantras or symbolic diagrams underlying the architecture as well as sculpture. This edition will be extremely valuable for understanding not only temple construction but the entire symbolism underlying the unique temples of Orissa.
