It flows from square base into dodecagonal, square again, and hexagonal with a roof cantilevered newel as the rotation pivot. This design appears keep it simple on 1 level but hints at a more complex glance into the world of sacred geometry.
With out perimeter walls, BABAJI is a simple 4 post and beam configuration. Looking to the ceiling, we can see a geometrical dance. With the dodecagonal configuration supporting both square and hexagonal roof rafters and covered with a pyramidal roof, this diverse grouping of forms creates a state of solid centered ambiance.
