According to Indian culture, \u2018Agamam\u2019 means ways to perform the \u2018puja vidhi\u2019 (Vaidik system) in temples. It is an expertise known only to a very few people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018Sthapatyam\u2019, on the other hand, means temple architecture, mostly used in reference to those who construct and design temples, following religious protocols. A person who studies Sthapatyam is called a \u2018Sthapathi\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
High concentration and years of dedication are needed to become an expert in one of the two fields. Bagging a world record as a mark of recognition is something that Chamarthi Balabhaskaran Sthapathi, presently working as an assistant Sthapathi at Vemulawada Temple Area Development Authority (VTADA), has achieved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In February, Unique World Records Limited had recognised him as the world\u2019s first Shilpa and Agama Shastra Sthapathi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI have completed both the courses. I am the first person in the world to have completed both. The Unique World Records Limited has recognised the feat and communicated to me,\u201d said Mr. Balabhaskaran, adding that these two were the two pillars for a Hindu temple system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
