Samarangana Sutradhara Online

The Samarangana Sutradhara (Sanskrit: समराङ्गणसूत्रधार, IAST: Samarāṅgaṇasūtradhāra) is one of the most extraordinary and comprehensive treatises on classical Indian architecture (Vastu Shastra) ever produced. Written in the 11th century, this monumental work in Sanskrit is traditionally attributed to the celebrated Paramara King Bhoja of Dhar (c. 1000–1055 CE). It remains a cornerstone for understanding the theory and practice of traditional Indian architecture, town planning, engineering, and even mechanical contrivances.
