Agni-kundas (fire-pits) of prescribed form and size were meant to hold consecrated sacred fire to which oblations were offered. Their sections represented various geometrical figures such as circle, semicircle, polygon (triangle, square, etc.), and forms resembling lotus flower and pippalleaf. However, they have not found due place in studies related to ancient and medieval Indian mathematics.
