if we translate the word VIMANA textually, we can separate it into 2 just words, temple and measurement. If we take the context that these devices "flew" and throws us more references on the word . When you visit the cockpit of an airplane what you can see the most? Of course! Meters. If you ask the pilot -what makes this watch?- he will say, measure the height. This would lead us to say that it is a temple of measurement.
It is the mythical name that in Hinduism receives flying ships. It's a word of Sanskrit origin. In Arquitectura is a pyramidal building with a circular base. In Sanskrit it means science of measurements or measurements. Surveying. The term has become widespread to call it (vimana or vimanam) a mandir, mondir or mandiram, which is a Hindu temple.
It is not Spanish, and there are some interpretation problems for the voice of Sanskrit origin 2357; 2367; 2350; 2366; 2344; ( vimahan ) . It may be a word concerning measurement in architecture, which was associated with religion with the construction of sacred temples, and to pyramidal towers called vimanam, which may be part of palaces inspired by Vedic accounts, where some had the capac to fly. Hindu mythology mentions different vimanas as rolling, floating or flying artifacts, from thrones to palaces, but in most cases they were dragged by fantastic animals and used by their gods to move. That's why the tightest translation today is "airplane," although there is a stream of UFOs that considers them spaceships created by ancient high-tech civilizations already gone or by extraterrestrial beings confused with gods by Indian residents.
