Hindu temples, also called mandir, devasthanam, pura, kshetram, ambalam, or kovil, are sacred houses of the deity where Hindus worship, offer sacrifices, and pray. Their architecture draws on later Vedic traditions and makes extensive use of geometric forms such as squares and circles. Temple design incorporates astronomical numbers and alignments related to site and deity, symbolically reflecting the equivalence of macrocosm and microcosm and elements of the Hindu cosmos.
