Abstract:
Hindu temple architecture represents a significant confluence of spiritual, artistic, and scientific principles. This paper investigates the seismic resilience of historic Hindu temples, focusing on planning, geometrical configuration, construction techniques, and traditional knowledge systems such as Vastu Shastra. By analyzing the structural behavior of selected case studies, including the Ramappa Temple, Ekambareshwar Temple, and Sun Temple at Modhera, this study demonstrates how ancient Indian architectural practices offer viable solutions to contemporary seismic design challenges. The research underscores the continued relevance of traditional design philosophies in the context of sustainability and disaster-resilient architecture.
