Padvinyas : Deities

Note: All the entries are in English language for this puzzle

Padvinyas is the allocation of deities on the grid of the Mandala through notations to each plot (pada) which bear symbolic and mythological references. Each subdivision of the site is codified by a deity, the implication and meaning of which the practitioners recognize, understand and implement. The Vastu Purush Mandala is an amalgamation of three constituent concepts; Vastu the consecrated site or an ideal form of a square, the purpose, the theme, the Nama; the Purusha, the mediator and the principle of form or Rupa; and Mandala, the mechanism of its application, or karma.
