Sacred Geometry of Hampi: Exploring Proportions and Temple Measurements

Temple architecture in Hampi, India, adheres to a sacred and consistent geometric design system rooted in the Āyādi–Ṣaḍvarga measurement framework. This study reveals that proportions and spatial arrangements—applied to pillars, garbhagriha (shrine rooms), and towers—were not only functional but also deeply symbolic, encoding spiritual significance. Through geometric mapping and alignment analysis of multiple Vijayanagara-era temples, researchers identified recurring patterns that underscore the region's architectural coherence. The findings suggest a deliberate design system that shaped both sacred space and aesthetic expression, blending ritual symbolism with structural precision.
