The divine structure must be erected with precise cosmic dimensions to effectively emanate divinity. Any misalignment of these dimensions will disrupt the rhythm, making it impossible to instil the architecture with its intended divine essence.

Stapatis are yogis who engage in journeys of reflective, multidimensional visualisation not for their gain, but selflessly and purposefully for the benefit of society.

Every temple's true creation bestows upon the artist multiple births and liberations. The creative process of the designer parallels the performance of the Cosmos, emphasising that the human creator is also part of the universe. During the act of creation, the sculptor transforms into the sculpture.     

Maternal uncle, and Preceptor

Dr. V. Ganapati Sthapati (Padma Bhushan recipient), was a world-renowned temple architect and sculptor. He appointed Dr. K. Dakshinamoorthy as his successor to oversee the Vastu Vedic Trust. Additionally, he made a dying declaration instructing Dr. K. Dakshinamoorthy to continue his work and activities.
