In the evolutionary process of human development, architecture, art and science have become a catalytic force to the development, what we call as civilization. The history of Indian Architecture, as a part of civilization, is one of the oldest. The evolution of architecture has its deep roots in the faiths and believes of the Indian subcontinent people. The knowledge of cosmic- solar and natural environments, the geographical understandings of the same has finally emerged as a practical science of architecture known as "VASTUSHASTRA" that is typically Indian. The introduction of variety of building materials coupled with their ability to support a particular form and size of a building has added to the wealth of the knowledge that Indians already possessed.
