The works concerned with village and other constructions may be carried out as
associated with or not associated with the miniature shrine and others related to it.
The Acharya should construct the miniature shrine in the north-east, north, south,
or south-east of the place fixed for the main shrine or he may construct it in any
direction as desired by him.

Having left out a space measuring nine rods from the main shrine, the Acharya should
construct a separate miniature shrine so as to appear with great divinity. This shrine
may be built with a width of 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 hastas or with a width of 2 hastas derived
from the basic measure of the main shrine.

Or, this miniature shrine may be with a measure equal to half of the measure of the
main shrine. The encircling wall of the shrine should be in a measure equal to two
or three times the width of the central square meant for the main image.
