About the Book
The Vimanarcanakalpa (also known as Maricisamhita) is a seminal Sanskrit text highly regarded by traditional artists and scholars of South Indian art and architecture. Serving as a Vaisnava Vaikhanasa ritual handbook, it provides detailed instructions on temple construction, the crafting of divine images, and their prescribed forms and proportions.
This work is particularly significant for its historical influence, with evidence suggesting that the temple at Uttaramerur (Tamil Nadu) was constructed following the guidelines outlined in this text. Rich in technical and ritualistic details, the Vimanarcanakalpa remains an indispensable resource for historians, architects, art scholars, and practitioners interested in the principles of traditional South Indian temple architecture and iconography.
