| Description | ध्वनि अवशोषक पैनल (Dhwani Avshoshak Panel), or sound-absorbing panels, are composite materials used for acoustic control. Historically, Indic architecture employed natural materials like *kasht* (wood) and *chuna* plaster mixed with fibrous materials [1]. The sound absorption coefficient varies based on frequency and composition. Traditional methods involved layering materials with varying densities to dissipate sound energy. Modern panels utilize mineral wool, recycled textiles, or fiberglass. Density and Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) are key performance indicators. Durability depends on the constituent materials and environmental conditions. Conservation efforts in heritage sites like Ajanta Caves require careful material selection to avoid damaging original surfaces [2]. The Mauryan and Gupta periods saw sophisticated construction techniques, including the use of specific clay mixtures for acoustic purposes. Sourcing materials from local quarries and forests was common. Restoration requires understanding the original *vastu shastra* principles and material properties [3]. Fire resistance varies with composition. |
