Vastu, mānasāra, and the engineering of sacred space at Bṛhadīśvara.

Naṭarāja, the five acts, and the scripture written in bronze — read through Umāpati Śivācārya’s Kuñcitāṅghri-stava, the Āgamas, the Upaniṣads, and the Tamil saints.

Naṭarāja and the Śrīcakra — the geometry beneath the lifted foot, read across Umāpati’s Kuñcitāṅghri-stava and Śaṅkara’s Saundaryalaharī.

What Bharatamuni's Nāṭyaśāstra teaches us about the architecture of meaning in movement.
