Celui qui fait une construction du debut a la fin en retire un supplement de bonheur, de plaisir et de bien-etre. Ce traite sanskrit d'architecture, redige par un auteur inconnu residant dans l'Inde meridionale, est l'un des textes les plus complets au sujet des batiments et des agglomerations de l'Inde classique, notamment en pays tamoul et malayalam. Combinaison de considerations techniques, pratiques et religieuses, le Mayamata indique comment choisir le site d'une construction suivant la classe sociale de ses futurs occupants, quel plan et quelle orientation adopter pour une maison d'habitation, un palais ou un temple garantissant le bien-etre de ses residents, quelles techniques constructives il convient d'utiliser dans chacun de ces cas. Il detaille la ceremonie a realiser lors de la pose de la premiere pierre ou lors de la prise de possession du batiment, decrit le mobilier, le linga (representation phallique symbolique de Siva) et la facon de figurer les dieux dans les edifices.
La presente edition illustree, aux allures de carnet d'architecte, reprend des extraits de la traduction du Mayamata, revue pour l'occasion par Bruno Dagens, avec un appareil de notes allege et une nouvelle introduction resituant ce traite des points de vue historique, geographique, mais aussi par rapport a l'ensemble de la tradition indienne classique d'ecrits sur l'architecture et l'art d'habiter.
