Hindu temples are living symbols of millennia of culture & heritage. They are thriving centers of divinity and robust spiritual, philosophical, educational, cultural, social, and economic activities deeply rooted in Vedic traditions.
Temples, also known as mandirs, Kovils, devalayams, and more, are Hindu religious institutions that serve as centers of spirituality and harmony. Devotees come to the temple to perform poojas, marriages or other rites, or just to have a community meeting. The purpose of a Kovil is to encourage devotees to come together and experience divinity while worshipping God in an accessible form called Vigraham. In fact, the word ‘mandir’ is derived from ‘manas’ and ‘dhiraya’ in Sanskrit, meaning ‘a place where the mind gets comfort and encouragement’. In ancient times, Hindu temples were central to a village or city’s society and economy, and they continue to retain their importance in modern times.
