It is important to keep in mind that all of these texts were written between the first and the sixteenth centuries. Hence everything is ideally provided in such a description, including the choice of location, water and light facilities, raw material availability, air ventilation, etc. Not only that, but careful consideration is also given to precise and well-considered instructions about staffing levels, financial requirements, and security in various departments in rasashala.

Just as Rasamandap is designated as a confidential and sterile space, the R&D sector similarly emphasizes the importance of maintaining confidentiality in drug development or research works conducted and also aseptic conditions has to be maintained in that sector.
