Hindu temple is built around the belief that all things are one, everything is connected.
The pilgrim is welcomed through 64-grid or 81-grid mathematically structured spaces, a network of art, pillars with carvings and statues that display and celebrate the four important and necessary principles of human life -
1. The pursuit of artha (prosperity, wealth)
2. The pursuit of kama (pleasure, sex)
3. The pursuit of dharma(virtues, ethical life) and
4. The pursuit of moksha (release, self-knowledge).
In ancient Indian texts temple is a sacred site whose ambiance and design attempts to condense the ideal values of Hindu way of life.
All the cosmic elements that create and sustain life are present in a Hindu temple - from fire to water, from images of nature to deities, from the feminine to the masculine, from the fleeting sounds and incense smells to the eternal nothingness yet universality at the core of the temple.
