Sanskrit sloga from Viswakarmyam Vastu Shastra:

Medhrasthaneshu Dwajasthambam Praakaram Janjuangeecha
Gopuram Paadayosketha Paadasya Angula Pokthaha
Gopuram Sthupasthatha Yevam Devaalayam angamuchyathe

Meaning: Garba-griham (main sanctum) is equated with human head; antarala (vestibule) is
equated with human neck; ardha mandapam (half-hall) is compared with human chest; maha
mandapam (main hall) is equated with the stomach; ag-post is viewed along with human male
organ;and gopuram or temple gateway tower is viewed along with human feet.

of our Hindu temples in my homeland. Can we say a small room within a temple is the representation of
