History
A Hindu temple is described as the sacred house of the god to whom it is dedicated. Its architectural traditions have roots in later Vedic practices and make extensive use of geometric forms such as squares and circles. Designs employ astronomical numbers and alignments tied to location and deity, illustrating recursion and the equivalence of macrocosm and microcosm while symbolically presenting elements of the Hindu cosmos and the aims of dharma, artha, kama and moksha.
Spiritual Significance
Temples are regarded as the house of the deity and embody the Hindu cosmos; their layout and alignments are meant to facilitate devotion and a symbolic union between the devotee and the divine macrocosm/microcosm.
Spiritual Practices
Devotees engage in worship, sacrifice, and prayers at the temple.
