Tantrikam is considered the origin of all puja vidhanams or procedures. It is based on the principles of the Pancha Maha Yagnas - the five great yagnas of Brahma, Deva, Pithru, Bhoota, and Manushya. Temple architecture and rituals are designed according to Tantrik traditions. The measurements and layout of the temple mimic the yajna shala or place for sacrifice. Daily puja rituals in temples originated from Tantrika traditions to preserve the sanctity as large yagnas became difficult to manage with increasing population. The rituals performed in different areas of the temple follow the principles of the five yagnas.

rakriti is the elemental nature of anything and Vikriti
is the imbalance that results when it grows out of harmony with that nature. Soma Yagam is the origin of all Yagas and hence the Prakriti of Yagas. Similarly, Tantrika Shastra is considered to be the Prakriti of all Pooja Vidhanams (procedures). The fundamental basis of Dharma Shaastras asserts that mankinds destiny is determined by his/her own past and present desires and actions. The samskaras, or the performance of purificatory rites, such as oblations, homas and yagas are dependent on the virtues acquired by his/her dharmic actions and desires during his relationship with mankind. Men who performed severe penance (tapas) in the Krita Yuga, gained abundant knowledge in the Treta Yuga and started yagna samskaras in the Dvapara Yuga. The reason for this was that these men foresaw the upcoming dangers due to the destruction of nature that started in the Dvapara Yuga, and started the yagna samskaras as a counter measure to overcome the ill effects of the destruction of nature. It was around 9 lakh (nine hundred thousand) years ago that the first Yagnas were started by mankind, based on the principles of Tantrikam. Tantrika tradition is based on the Pancha Maha Yagna (Five Great Yagnas). If you examine the Tantrika puja in a top rated temple, you can find the combination of these five yagnas being performed: Brahma Yagna, Deva Yagna, Pithru Yagna, Bhoota Yagna, and Manushya Yagna. Temples are a replicate image of the Yaaga Saalas. The units of length used for sizing the Yaagasaala are related to the
height of the Yajamaanan (Owner), and hence vary for each
Yaagam. Most of the measurements are made using a kol or stick, one prakramam (P) long (roughly 55 cm for a 175 cm tall yajamaanan. When using kols of prakramam or arani to build the Yaagasaala, the deity inside the Temples Sanctum Sanctorum is conceptualized to be the fire ball in the Yaagasaala and the size of the temple will be proportionate to the size of the deity. Conducting Yaagam is not a routine matter. It is very involved and requires elaborate preparation and detailed planning, and management. Over time when the population started increasing, conducting Yaagams became difficult to manage. So the concept of temples for daily worship became popular. Temples were built according to the Tantrik Paddathy for this purpose with deities consecrated for the purpose of daily puja rituals. So, the installation of deities, daily puja practices originated from Tantrika traditions based on the Pancha Maha Yagnas. The Tantrika Kriyas performed at the five praakaaras follows the Yagna principle. The Pragwaamsam area of the Yaagasaala is the temples sanctum sanctorum. If you examine the Tantrika Kriyas performed in the sanctum, you will observe that they have a one to one relationship with the Pancha Maha Yagnam. The majority of the temples consecrated as per Tantrik tradition will be those consecrated using the shadaadhara prathishta. When incidents like natures fury, or vandalism, or sinful acts happen in the temple, the temples sanctity declines. Daily pujas can bring back peace to the temple environment. The Tantrik rituals can preserve and increase the sanctity of the temple.
