Candi (also known as Temple)

A "Candi," also known as a temple, is an ancient religious structure built by the Hindu or Buddhist civilizations, primarily in Southeast Asia. These sites serve as sacred spaces for worship, rituals, and offerings to deities or Buddha. Architecturally, they often feature intricate carvings, towering spires, and symmetrical layouts, reflecting spiritual symbolism. Candi are historically significant, representing the artistic and cultural achievements of their respective civilizations, and are often part of larger archaeological complexes. They function as places of spiritual practice and cultural identity, connecting the physical space with religious beliefs and community traditions.
