Yoni (Source) Calculation — Perimeter×3÷8

Varanasi Sthapati guilds maintained handwritten Yoni-Patrika (Yoni animal charts) with prescriptions for each of the eight remainders — these documents survive in the Saraswati Bhavan library at Banaras Hindu University. Jaipur havelis from the 17th century show plinth adjustments of 2-3 cm consistent with Yoni-remainder correction from Shvana to Gaja.

Peshwa-era Wadas in Pune's Kasba Peth show physical evidence of 2-4 cm outer wall jogs at the plinth level — consistent with Yoni-remainder correction. The Sutradhar guild of Satara uniquely linked each of the eight Yoni animals to a Marathi proverb, making the system accessible to non-literate craftsmen.

Tamil Sthapatis of the Kumbakonam Vishwakarma community maintain palm-leaf Yoni-Pattiyal (Yoni registers) computed to 1/8th Angula precision — the finest resolution in any Indian tradition. The Kamikagama prescribes that Kovil (temple) construction requires Dhvaja Yoni exclusively, while residential allows Gaja and Simha as well.

Kakatiya guild record stones at the Warangal Thousand-Pillar Temple contain Yoni remainder tables carved in Telugu numerals alongside animal glyphs — the oldest surviving physical evidence of the eight-animal Yoni classification. Telugu Sthapatis uniquely associate Gaja Yoni with the Tirupati temple elephant tradition.

Jain Basadis at Mudabidri contain inscribed Yoni-animal glyphs on pillar bases in Halegannada script — the Sthapati recorded the eight-fold remainder as a permanent mathematical-spiritual certificate. The Gaja Yoni is considered supreme in Jain tradition due to the elephant's role in Mahavira's birth-dream narrative.

The Perumthachan lineage maintained handwritten Yoni-Grantha (Yoni calculation books) passed from father to son, with Yoni tables calibrated to Kerala's distinctive Kishku-Kol measuring rod. The Manushyalaya Chandrika uniquely prescribes that the Thachan must announce the Yoni animal aloud — a verbal cosmic contract between architect, householder, and the universe.

Solanki-era Havelis in Patan contain Yoni animal glyphs inscribed in the courtyard foundation alongside Gujarati numerals — visible proof that the eight-fold calculation was performed. The Jain Sthapati tradition uniquely maps each Yoni animal to a Jain ethical principle: Gaja=Kshama (forgiveness), Dhvaja=Satya (truth), Shvana=Krodha (anger, to be avoided).

Bengali Sutradhar guilds of Nabadwip maintained Yoni-Tattvika manuscripts with the eight animal Yonis illustrated in traditional Kalighat painting style. The Ganaka announces the Yoni animal during Bhoomi Puja while the Purohit chants a Mantra specific to that animal — the Gaja Mantra invokes Airavata (Indra's elephant), unique to Bengali practice.

The Jagannath Temple at Puri is traditionally cited as the supreme exemplar of Gaja-Yoni construction — its external perimeter is said to yield the elephant (Gaja=7) remainder, connecting the temple to Jagannath's royal elephant procession tradition. Kalinga Sthapatis uniquely associate each Yoni animal with one of the eight Asta-Nayikas (heroines) from Odia literary tradition.

Punjabi Raj-Mistri guilds maintained Yoni-Pothi (Yoni ledgers) with the eight animals mapped to Gurbani moral principles — Gaja represents Nimrata (humility), Dhvaja represents Sat (truth), Shvana represents Krodh (anger). The Golden Temple renovations historically included Yoni verification to ensure the Gaja remainder was preserved.
