Much has been written on Hindu Temples. Fergusson, Havell Kramrish, Brown and a host of noted savants have contributed to this theme in their standard works on Indian architecture and sculpture. 窶�Hindu Temple窶� by Kramrisch is a remarkable exposition of a specialised undertaking. The present writer therefore is bound to be benefited, very much from these 窶�アハナォーアケイケ-イナォーセアイ窶�. As he is primarily a student of the canons of Hindu architecture, sculpture (iconography) and painting, what are termed as ウユト蟯ウルウワ-ナ崙蟯ウルーイケ, ナ埓アアア雋ケ-ナ崙蟯ウルーイケ and Citra-ナ崙蟯ウルーイケ, naturally his angle therefore must be coloured more by manuals than monuments. Accordingly in the previous chapters, an attempt has been made to study the canons of Temple Architecture, and the same theme may be continued in a pronounced way in relation to the monuments, the representative illustrations of the different types of temples that are described in these treatises on ウユト蟯ウルウワ-ナ崙蟯ウルーイケ. Hence the presentation of this dissertation is bound to be different from those that are found in the text books of the subject by contemporary writers.
