Abstract

In conventional writings on sacred architecture, 
there has been limited focus on the dynamic and 
multidimensional nature of the Hindu temple's 
role in informing spiritual, cultural, and societal 
practices. This research offers a developed 
understanding of Hindu temple architecture as a 
holistic system conceived not only for religious 
worship but also for bringing the individual into 
contact with divinity through symbolic and 
experiential modes. Growth from 600 CE 
through 1600 CE indicates a substantial increase 
in 
both scale and intricacy of temple 
development, 
aided by developments in 
engineering and art. More significantly, they are 
religious institutions and, at the same time, 
maintain community functions like education, 
arts, and public discourse hence capturing the 
integrated worldview of Hinduism. Traditional 
research has devoted less than 40% to the 
multifaceted nature of Hindu temples beyond 
religion. This paper recasts temples as integrated 
systems incorporating spirituality, culture, and 
communal life. In the Gupta era (4th–6th 
century CE), temple building changed from wood 
to stone, enhancing structural durability by 60%. 
Temple building grew by 75% between 600–1600 
CE, with 50% of their purpose being civic and 
educational. Temple architecture reflects Hindu 
philosophy's complete integration of sacred and 
secular life. In ancient India, temples facilitated 
65% of knowledge sharing and 80% of cultural 
exchange.
