purpose but also spiritual, cultural, educational and
social objectives. It provides a place for devotees to
focus and develop their spiritual insight. A Hindu temple
in essence can be recognized in three forms. The first
is oneself with God within. The second one is a
dedicated room (with altar and deities) in a home. The
third one is the Hindu temple in which devotees
participate collectively that reflects the pluralistic

social objectives. It provides a place for devotees to
