Garbhagriha

Garbhagriha, also known as the sanctum sanctorum, is the innermost chamber of a Hindu temple where the primary deity's idol or symbol is enshrined. It serves as the spiritual heart of the temple, representing the divine presence and the focal point for worship. Designed to be a sacred, quiet space, the Garbhagriha is usually small and often dark, emphasizing reverence and intimacy with the deity. Its architecture and placement are carefully planned to reflect spiritual symbolism and facilitate devotion, making it the most revered area within the temple complex.
