Regarding the query of SrI Arun Kumar and the response below, I have 
briefly gone through the book by SrI Ganapati Sthapati. I was 
looking for information on the differences between the temple 
construction between the two vaishNava Agama-s, and did not find much 
that was clear from the book. The book deals extensively with the 
sculpturing of idols etc. While obviously it is a book by a great 
and well-recognized sthapati, it is not devoted to specifically 
temple construction, but more to the sculpturing of idols (both 
vaishNava and Saiva), as far as my memory serves me. There is a 
series on Agama-s published by Kalpataru Research Academy, consiting 
of 10 volumes or so, that deal with various aspects of Agama. Again, 
nothing specific to the vaishNava temple construction that I can 
recall. I have posted about seven write-ups on pAncarAtra Agama in 
general in the bhakti list some four or five years back, but I have 
specifically not dealt with temple construction in that write-up. 
The bottom line is, that I have looked for books on vaishNava temple 
cosntruction, and have not come across a satisfactory description so 
far. Some people have told me that the Melkote SamskRt Academy has 
several publications on Agama-s, but my letters to them have met with 
no response.
