Temple Glory

The Hindus worship several gods and goddesses with each one being associated with an attribute. To give a few examples, the Hindus consider the holy trinity of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva in great reverence. It is a belief that Brahma is the God of Creation, Vishnu is regarded as the Preserver while Shiva is worshipped as the Destroyer. Apart from the trinity, the Hindus also worship Ganesha, the Elephant God, extensively and believe that before starting any new venture, it is important to seek the blessings of Ganesha. Apart from these, there are other numerous deities that are worshipped with great veneration. Hence, with so many gods and goddesses, the number of temples too is high with different temples being dedicated to different deities. The beauty of the temples in India is that they are built with unique architectural style and carvings. The temples usually consist of a huge hall, which leads to a sanctum where the actual idol of the gods or goddesses is placed. The Hindu temples also consist of a pinnacle, which is made of gold or silver and can be seen even from a far distance.

There are a large number of temples in India, which have attained great following and admiration for their architectural styles. One of the most prominent temples in India is the Balaji temple situated in Tirupati, in Andhra Pradesh. This temple is a shrine that worships Vishnu and Balaji is considered a form of Vishnu. The God of Destruction, Shiva, also has numerous temples spread across the country. Chidambaram, Kedarnath, Badrinath, Somnath and Tryambakeshwar are one of the prominent Shiva shrines among the temples in India. Ganesha is also worshipped in every corner of the country and has innumerable temples in the towns and cities of India. Some of the prominent Ganesha temples include the Siddhi Vinayak temple and the Ashtavinayak shrines. The Ashtavinayak include eight temples of Ganesha that are located around Pune in Maharashtra.

The temples in India are guarded with great care and zeal. For several people, the temples are places where an individual can get peace of mind and attain nirvana.
