Hindu temples are sacred places of worship dedicated to various deities in the Hindu pantheon. They serve as spiritual centers for the community, fostering religious practices, cultural activities, and social gatherings. Temples often reflect intricate architectural styles and are designed to facilitate meditation and prayer.
Worship in Hindu temples involves rituals, prayers, and offerings. Devotees may perform aarti (ceremonial waving of lamps), offer flowers, fruits, and food to the deities, and participate in religious ceremonies. Some temples have priests who conduct ceremonies, while others allow individuals to perform their own rituals.

Hindu temples celebrate numerous festivals throughout the year, marking significant events in Hindu mythology. Festivals provide an opportunity for communal worship, cultural expression, and social bonding. Devotees participate in special rituals, processions, and cultural events during these celebrations.
Hinduism has a vast pantheon of deities, each representing different aspects of the divine. Temples are often dedicated to a specific deity or a group of deities based on regional traditions, historical significance, or the preferences of the local community.
Hindu temples are typically funded through donations from devotees. Many temples also receive support from charitable trusts, endowments, and government grants. The funds are used for the maintenance of the temple premises, religious ceremonies, and community welfare activities.
Priests in Hindu temples, known as pujaris or archakas, play a crucial role in conducting religious ceremonies, performing rituals, and facilitating the worship of deities. They often undergo specific training in Vedic rituals and scriptures. The presence of a qualified priest is considered essential for the sanctity of the worship.
