The description below is a translation of the traditional method of Shree Yantra construction, stipulated in the ancient texts.

The angles of your feet are transformed into four [angles] related to Shiv and five [angles] related to Shakti, which are distinct from those of Shiv, and thus into the nine primary forms of matter, as well as into forty-three [angles], eight-petals, sixteen-sides, three-folds and three-lines.

One should make a circle according to one's desire
[i.e. as large as one wants].
One should draw a line from east to west
and divide it into forty-eight parts.

Making a Sri Yantra - The Circle

One should make nine marks on this:
on the sixth, on the sixth and on the fifth,
on the third and again on the third,
on the fourth and then on the third,
on the sixth, and on the sixth again.
One should extend nine lines on both sides of these marks,
from south to north.

Making a Sri Yantra

One who is skilled in this
[i.e. who knows the technical terms and drawing process]
should remove fractional parts [from these lines] in order:
on the first, second, and fourth,
then on the fifth and sixth,
and on the eighth and last
agni [three], bana [five], kala [sixteen], purana [eighteen],
sixteen, veda [four], and agni [three].

Making a Sri Yantra - The Sri Yantra

It is adorned with a triad of circles
and has an earthly house distinguished by three lines.
The dwelling consists of a three-fold road
and is beautifully adorned with four-fold doors;
the chakra is divine, completely splendorous,
consisting of the nature of moon, sun and fire.

This dimensional variability utilized in the construction of Vedic altars is further developed in the proportional systems of yantras, the ritual diagrams of Tantric initiation and empowerment. As in the case of the tradition of Vedic altars mentioned above, there are many types of yantras. All yantras share the same basic scheme of enclosure, or "walls," although the representation within these walls varies depending upon the purpose of the yantra. In the case of the Shree Yantra, perhaps the most well known yantra, the central area is occupied by a pattern of nine interlocking triangles representing the Goddess of Wealth, Shree (Mahalakshmi).
