Seismic Wisdom in Stone: Structural Logic of Indian Temple Architecture
Abstract: Indian temple architecture has long been admired for its aesthetic perfection, ritual symbolism, and constructional ingenuity. Less celebrated – but equally remarkable – is its inherent seismic wisdom. Drawing upon textual canons (Vāstu Vidyā), geometric discipline (square and mandala-based layouts), and refined masonry craft, historic temples across India exhibit a suite of architectural and structural features that collectively enhance earthquake performance. This paper synthesizes evidence from classical treatises and modern …
