A Sinhala-language title on building practice as it is guided by vasthu vidya, the traditional South Asian system of measurement and orientation applied to houses. The title points specifically at roofing and at doors and windows — the openings and coverings of a building rather than the whole plan.
The text is entirely in Sinhala, with no English translation or parallel text. Readers who cannot read Sinhala script will not be able to use it, so it suits buyers with reading Sinhala, students of traditional Sri Lankan building craft who work in the language, or households abroad keeping a Sinhala reference shelf.
Rathna Deshappriya Amarasuriya is the author. The book comes from Godage Publishers, a long-established Colombo house whose list covers Sinhala and English titles across many subjects, including practical and traditional-knowledge writing of this kind.
Likely readers are builders, draughtsmen and homeowners in Sri Lanka who consult vasthu principles when planning or renovating, and anyone collecting Sinhala works on traditional architecture and craft practice.
