Asia Bharat Hindu Temple Construction

Three key forms of temple architecture

The Bharat Hindu Temple Construction and Engineering Company is a land of rich and diverse art and culture. It is home to a number of architectural marvels, majority of which hold religious significance. Temples of Malaysia and India hold a very distinct place in the hearts of people. In layman’s terms, a temple can be defined as a place of worship. However, on a philosophical level, a Hindu temple represents much more. It is a manifestation of the entire cosmos that represents: earthly world (prithvi), the heavenly world (akasa), the astral world (svarga) and the world below (patala). Therefore, we find beautiful intricate carvings and paintings on the walls depicting not only major deities but also semi-divine deities, mythological creatures, flora, fauna and aquatic life.

The temple architecture has evolved over the ages and the style changes along with the changing dynasties and region. While the architecture of Hindu temples varies from region to region, the major components of a temple remain constant.
