The Samaranganasutradhara", composed in the 11th century and commonly attributed to King Bhoja of Dhara, is one of the most remarkable silpasastras of northern India. Consisting of more than seven thousand slokas, it contains not only detailed descriptions of temples, but also a comprehensive exposition of residential architecture. This book is an annotated translation of the central passages on residential architecture accompanied by a study of the "Samaranganasutradhara"'s sources, the problem of authorship, and related matters. It is rounded off by a comprehensive glossary of technical terms and illustrations.
