History
Hindu temples—known variously as mandir, devasthanam, pura, kshetram, ambalam or kovil—are regarded as the house of the god to whom they are dedicated and serve as focal points for worship, sacrifice and prayer. Their architecture, rooted in later Vedic traditions, emphasizes geometric modules such as squares and circles and uses astronomical numbers and site-specific alignments. The design illustrates recursion and the equivalency of macrocosm and microcosm and symbolically incorporates elements of the Hindu cosmos and the aims of life: dharma, artha, kama, moksha and karma.
