This dictionary devotes itself exclusively to the terminology of Hindu encompasses all activities of man connected with the satisfaction works, epigraphic records and Vastu sastra are presented here. The entries are arranged according to the alphabetical order of Sanskrit. The derivative and original significant of every technical word is investigated and illustrated by quotations from original sources to bring out every shade of its meaning to cite an instance the word Mandap a runs into twenty-seven pages with its eighty six illustrative examples.

Two appendices one furnishing important Sanskrit works on architecture and the other giving information about the famous Indian architects of the past are added. Thus this dictionary is a complete reference work on Indian architecture.
