Hindu temple is the centerpiece for all aspects of the everyday life of a Hindu – religious, cultural, educational and social. The Hindu temple is also the place where one can transcend the world of man.

Hindus believe that their lives are merely stages in the journey to ultimate enlightenment. The Hindu temple is a place where the Supreme, or the Brahman could be reached and where divine knowledge can be uncovered. All aspects of the Hindu temple focus on the goal of Enlightenment and Moksha – the principles of design and construction, the forms of its architecture and decoration, and the rituals performed. And all of these are determined by ancient hindu scriptures known as Shastras compiled by the Pandits. The Vastushastras were theoretical and idealized descriptions of the architectural traditions and conventions to be followed.

The temple is crafted to dissolve the boundaries between man and the divine. Not merely his home, the temple ‘is’ God and therefore by implication the whole universe is identified with the temple’s design and actual fabric.
