Question: What name is given to followers of this religion whose architecture is described as open, symmetry-driven and on a square grid of 'padas' an example being the Varaha Cave Temple?

The Hindu temple architecture is an open, symmetry-driven structure, with many variations, on a square grid of "padas", depicting perfect geometric shapes such as circles and squares. <SEP> Sua Ghin Gnua is a two-player abstract strategy board game from Thailand, formerly known as Siam.  Another name for the game is Tigers and Oxen.  It is a hunt game played on a 5x5 square grid with only orthogonal lines.  One player plays the three tigers, and the other player plays the twelve oxen.  The board is empty in the beginning.  Players first drop their pieces onto the board, and then are able to move them.  The tigers can capture the oxen by the short leap as in draughts and Alquerque, but the oxen attempt to elude and at the same time hem in the tiger.  Sua Ghin Gnua most resembles the tiger hunt games (or tiger games) such as Bagh-Chal, Rimau-rimau, Main Tapal Empat, Catch the Hare, and Adugo since they all use a 5 x 5 square grid.  But tiger games technically consist of a standard Alquerque board which is a 5 x 5 square grid with several diagonal lines criss-crossing through it which are completely missing in Sua Ghin Gnua.  There are however some variants of Catch the Hare which have missing diagonal lines also.  Another game that resembles Sua Ghin Gnua is from Myanmar called Tiger and Buffaloes which is a hunt game consisting of a 4 x 4 square grid with no diagonal lines.  Myanmar happens to border Thailand geographically so there might be a historical connection between the two games.  Another game from Myanmar is Lay Gwet Kyah that is presumed to be similar to Sua Ghin Gnua.  Sua Ghin Gnua was briefly described by Stewart Culin, in his book "Chess and Playing Cards: Catalogue of Games and Implements for Divination Exhibited by the United States National Museum in Connection with the Department of Archaeology and Paleontology of the University of Pennsylvania at the Cotton States and International Exposition, Atlanta, Georgia 1895" (1898).  It's also briefly mentioned by H.J.R. Murray in his book "A History of Chess" (1913).  It was also described by R.C. Bell, in his book "Board and Table Games from Many Civilizations" (1969). <SEP>  It is part of the hill top village, which is 4 km to the north of the main Mahabalipurm sites of rathas and the Shore Temple.

Varaha Cave Temple (also Adivaraha Cave Temple) is a rock-cut cave temple located at Mamallapuram, on the Coromandel Coast of the Bay of Bengal in Kancheepuram District in Tamil Nadu, India.  The temple is one of the finest testimonial to the ancient Vishwakarma Sthapathis, of rock-cur cave architecture, out of many such caves also called mandapas. Part of the Group of Monuments at Mahabalipuram, the temple is a UNESCO World Heritage Site as inscribed in 1984 under criteria i, ii, iii and iv.  The most prominent sculpture in the cave is that of Lord Vishnu in the incarnated form of a Varaha or boar lifting Bhudevi, the mother earth goddess from the sea.  Also carved are many mythical figures. <SEP> Mahishasuramardhini Mandapa (Cave Temple; also known as Yampuri) is an example of Indian rock-cut architecture dating from the late 7th century, of the Pallava dynasty.  It is a rock-cut cave temple located on a hill, near a lighthouse, along with other caves in Mamallapuram.  It is the one of the finest testimonials of ancient Vishwakarma Sthapathis (Vishwakarma sculpture).  Mamallapuram, also popularly known as Mahabalipuram, is a small village to the south of Chennai, in the state of Tamil Nadu, India.  The temple is part of the Group of Monuments at Mahabalipuram, a UNESCO World Heritage Site inscribed in 1984.  This Cave Temple has many interesting architectural features of which three exquisitely carved reliefs on the cave walls of three sanctums are prominent.  One is of Vishnu reclining on the seven hooded serpent, Adisesha, another of Durga, the main deity of the cave temple slaying the buffalo headed demon Mahishasura, and the third sanctum also has a sculpture of Vishnu.  The cave also depicts many scenes from the Puranas (Hindu mythology stories in Sanskrit dating from the 5th century AD).
