Not Just a Consultant: A Traditional Sthapathi & Educator
In classical Indian shastra, a Sthapathi is not merely a theoretical consultant who gives generic orientation tips. A Sthapathi is a master architect trained in Thachu Shastra (traditional carpentry and joinery), sacred metrology (Kolmanam & Angulamanam), and Agama Shastra temple geometry across 43 years of practice experience.
During his 33 years as main faculty member and Course Co-ordinator (IC) at Aranmula Vasthuvidya Gurukulam, Sivan AB brought shastric blueprints to life through actual traditional building projects—including complex Nalukettu (4-courtyard), Ettukettu (8-courtyard), and Pathinarukettu (16-courtyard) structures.
