🧵#Thread Let’s dive into the sacred geometry of temples through the Vastu Purusha Mandala. 👇
2. The layout of every traditional Hindu temple follows Vastu Shastra, the ancient Indian science of architecture.
At the heart of it lies the Vastu Purusha Mandala-a cosmic map aligning temple energy with divine forces.

3. The Mandala is a square, representing Earth’s stability & cosmic balance.
It is divided into 9x9 = 81 or 64 squares, each square ruled by a Deva (divine force).
The entire grid is a blueprint of spiritual energy flow.

4. Each direction of the temple is guarded by a deity:
SE: Agni (Fire)
NW: Vayu (Wind)
W: Varuna (Water)
S: Yama (Death)
N: Kubera (Wealth)
E: Indra (Power)
...and many more!
These deities bless that zone with specific energies.

5. The Garbha Griha (sanctum) is built at the center-the zone of Brahma (creator)-where divine energy is at its peak.
It is the heart of the temple, where the idol resides and cosmic energy condenses.
You feel it. You vibrate with it.

6. The Pradakshina patha (circumambulation path) flows clockwise -like the natural flow of energy in a vortex.
It aligns you with the universe’s rhythm as you walk in meditation.
Each step is a return to your source.

7. Ancient temples were also aligned with:
Solar/lunar cycles
Cardinal directions
Magnetic fields
Sacred rivers (Ganga/Yamuna)
Even the sound acoustics in Mandapas were engineered for mantras to echo and uplift.

8. These weren't just places of worship.
They were energy hubs, healing centers, knowledge universities, and living embodiments of dharma-all guided by Vastu Shastra, cosmology & devotion.

9. So next time you step into a temple…
Don’t just look at it as a monument.
Feel its energy.
Trace its geometry.
Understand the divine mathematics that makes your soul feel at home.
This is Sanatan Dharma’s living science.
