Hindu Temple

A Hindu temple is a sacred place of worship for followers of Hinduism, reflecting their beliefs and traditions. Typically characterized by intricate architecture, the temple is designed to house a deity, often represented by an idol or image. Worshippers visit to offer prayers, perform rituals, and participate in festivals. Temples often feature a central sanctum (garbha griha), where the main deity is enshrined, and may include halls for gathering, courtyards, and sometimes towers (shikharas). Beyond being places of worship, Hindu temples serve as cultural and community centers, playing a vital role in the social and spiritual life of believers.
