The Temple is a house of God. It is a space and structure designed to bring human beings and Gods together.  Infused with symbolism the temple is where man may cross over from the world of illusion to one of knowledge and truth.

The symbolism and structure of a Hindu temple are rooted in Vedic traditions. A temple incorporates all elements of Hindu cosmos- dharma, kama, artha, moksa and karma.

Hindu temples come in many styles, diverse locations, deploy different construction methods and are adapted to different deities and regional beliefs.Yet, almost all Hindu temples share certain core ideas, symbolism and themes. The Hindu temples reflect arts, materials and designs as they evolved over several millennia.
