Temple design

Temple design involves creating a space that reflects spiritual beliefs and cultural values. It often features a central area called the sanctum for worship or sacred objects, surrounded by corridors, halls, and courtyards for gatherings and ceremonies. Architecturally, temples use symmetry, proportion, and symbolic elements like specific shapes, sculptures, and ornamentation to honor deities and inspire reverence. Materials and design details vary by tradition, but all aim to foster a sense of connection, sanctity, and harmony between the divine, the structure, and its visitors.
