: Shodhganga: Elements of Art and Architecture in the Trtiyakhanda of the Visnudharmottarapurana (h)The Sacrificial Ground (used for offering materials) is denoted by the Sanskrit term Ved墨, according to the 艢atapathabr膩hma峁嘺 and Taittir墨yabr膩hma峁嘺.鈥擨n the 艢atapathabr膩hma峁嘺 it is stated that by worshiping fire in the Vedic age, the devotees or the sages obtained 蝉补峁僾墨诲 i.e., the entire earth and as because they were able to obtain this entire earth by it, therefore the, sacrificial ground is called 惫别诲墨. According to the Taittir墨yabr膩hma峁嘺, also the earth itself is regarded as altar. Thus the concept of the 惫别诲墨 or a ground for offering materials specifically to God of worship emerged in the Vedic era. Again after making the 惫别诲墨, the concept of idol worship came into existence.
