Summary

Description

English: This is a JPEG format plan and architectural drawing of a historic Indian temple or monument. An alternate SVG format (scalable vector graphics) version of this file – for web graphics, design studies, print, dynamic and interactive applications – has also been uploaded to wikimedia commons.

The drawing:

Somnath mandir (Somnath Jyotirlinga temple) is one of the most sacred and celebrated monuments of Hindus in India. Often historically discussed, asserted as one of many examples and also disputed in the context of Islamic invasions, raids and destruction in Gujarat. Evidence suggests that the temple was destroyed several times then rebuilt again each time by Hindus over the centuries. The floor plan of the temple shown above remained the same, though the structure above somewhat changed over time.

The above temple is dedicated to Shiva. It is found in Veraval, along the southern coastline of Gujarat.

The temple's architectural plan follows the square and circle principle found in historic Sanskrit texts.

GPS location of the monument:

The relative scale and relative dimensions in this architectural drawing are close to the actual but neither exact nor complete. The plan illustrates the design and layout, but some intricate details or parts of the temple may not be shown. In cases where exact measurements were not feasible, the drawing uses best approximations and rounds the best measurements feasible. This drawing uses, in part, some of measurements published in 1892, and republished in 1910 by James Fergusson in the History of Indian and Eastern Architecture.
