A temple (from the Latin word templum) is a structure reserved for religious or spiritual activities such as prayer and sacrifice. A templum constituted a sacred precinct as defined by a priest, or augur. It has the same root as the word "template," a plan in preparation of the building that was marked out on the ground by the augur. Templa also became associated with the dwelling places of a god or gods. Despite the specific set of meanings associated with the religion of the ancient Rome, the word has now become quite widely used to describe a house of worship for any number of religions and is even used for time periods prior to the Romans.
Hindu temples are called by many different names, varying on region and language, including mandir, mandira, ambalam, gudi, kavu, koil, kovil, déul, raul, devasthana and devalaya.
Hindu temples are large and magnificent with a rich history. There is evidence of use of sacred ground as far back as the Bronze Age and later the Indus Valley Civilization. However, it was not until Today, Hindu temples have been built in various countries around the world, including India, Nepal, Mauritius, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Great Britain, the United States, Australia, South Africa and Canada.

A Hindu mandir (Sanskrit: मन्दिर mandir, प्रासाद prāsāda) is a house of god(s). It is a space and structure designed to bring human beings and gods together, infused with symbolism to express the ideas and beliefs of Hinduism. A Hindu temple, states George Michell, functions as a place of transcendence, where man may cross over (do tirtha) from the world of illusion to one of knowledge and truth.
The symbolism and structure of a Hindu temple, states Stella Kramrisch, are rooted in Vedic traditions. A temple incorporates all elements of Hindu cosmos - presenting the good, the evil and the human, as well as the elements of Hindu sense of cyclic time and the essence of life - symbolically presenting dharma, kama, artha, moksa and karma.
The spiritual principles symbolically represented in Hindu temples are given in the ancient Sanskrit texts of India (for example, Vedas, Upanishads), while their structural rules are described in various ancient Sanskrit treatises on architecture (Brhat Samhita, Vastu Sastras). The layout, the motifs, the plan and the building process recite ancient rituals, geometric symbolisms, and reflect beliefs and values innate within various schools of Hinduism. A Hindu temple is a spiritual destination for many Hindus (not all), as well as landmarks around which ancient arts, community celebrations and economy flourished.

Past efforts fought & crumbled as of our frail
descendants
Night falls over our kingdom of forgotten souls
An appalling redemption waits behind the gates
of the rising sun
Our creations, Drones of untold sacrifice
Merely crushed into a fine dust.
Their eternal march begins to the chorus of the
stagnant
Beckon the dawn of destruction
Mankind’s great repression
Smoke seeps from the temples in which they dwell
We glance at the inglorious structure
Their Temples Of A Transcendent Evolution.
Our embodiment, The deathbed to our leaders execution.
These times see man meeting his malfunction
A weakness they will use to bludgeon
Such a reckless oblivion ignites a frenzy of sacrifice
To serenade a worthless eternity
Earth shakes to the tremble of a thousand frightened
A fuel they will burn again & again
The sound of stones thudding into our frail bodies
Pulse hammer force, Machine gun speed
No words can speak the agony we will concede
Smashed to bits torn to fucking shreds
Our entrails contaminate the machines treads
A short sharp violent thrust leaves your insides in
your hands
Not a battlefield but a slaughter ground
These godforsaken lands
Our malfunction, a weakness they will use to bludgeon
Such a reckless oblivion ignites a frenzy of sacrifice
To serenade our worthless eternity
And the last breath, For heaving earth
Has become the descent into our expiration
Decomposing reality led us to our embodiment
The aftermath
