Indian Temple

    Newer Older

    This is an Ancient Temple from India. This is the Nagara style of Architecture which was fully developed in the 10th century. Such Temples exist till date and are very much in use as a place of worship and pilgrimage. In Hinduism the devotee offers flowers and fruit to the 'deity' as a form of worship. Therefore we always see stalls selling garlands, flowers and fruit outside a temple. A visit to the Temple is not a sombre event, and could be an evening outing for the family or a 'picnic' Therefore one finds a 'fair' like atmosphere around the entrance.

      Thanks vegastar177. This was mostly my imagination, but I did some research on Indian temple architecture before building it.
