Temples of India - #monthlytopic July 2020

Hi Local Guides,

I’m very much thankful to @HiroyukiTakisawa for bringing such a phenomenal topic for discussion. Religious places are certainly very much a part of our society, and as well as of our lives. We might be from different regions, but our religious teachings always bind us together.

I belong to Hindu community in India and we as a community are very close to our Temples. I can say that in India, temples not only serve as a place of worship, but they are also act as the Hubs of Cultural Development. It means that we get to learn a lot about values and traditions present in our society.

Here are pictures of some of the temples in India, where I got the chance to visit. I have also presented a list of Famous Temples in India on Google Maps.

Yes, there are lot of temples in India and thus, there exists many of its different forms. The last picture also has an architecture of different type - called Malayali-style Temple Architecture, mostly found in the Indian region of Kerala.

I have also heard about many temples in Bali and about Prambanan Temple. It looks very beautiful and I would love to visit there at least once. :grinning:

Thank you very much @Ant_Bad_Yogi for the appreciation.

Well, I really like the architecture of Akshardham Temple (New Delhi) … Photography is not allowed there, so I don’t have the pictures.

I think you might have heard of it. It is near to Noida.

Hi @OlgaKlimchik ,

Thank you very much for the appreciation. Yes, India is known for its beautiful temples and what remains lovely is its inherent culture.

The picture of Shore Temple has a pond at bottom. The stairs are part of it, but currently it remains empty.

In India, there are many different forms of Temple architecture and the last 2 Temples have different designs.

In the second last picture, you can see a series of bulbs coming out of the main dome in different directions. Whereas in the last picture, there are lamps lit all around the main temple building. We lit them up after sunset as an offering to God.
