Book Description
Much has been written on the Hindu temple. If some writers have meticulously traced its evolution through the ages, others have marvelled at its architecture and the engineering skill of its builders. A few have struggled to discover its meaning and symbology. But none of these writings keeps the average Hindu in view and supplies him with all the essential information in nontechnical terms. This is exactly what has been attempted in this monograph.
It may be a tall claim to say that it speaks "all about" the Hindu temples! But a little patient and sympathetic perusal will convince the readers that it is a modest attempt at providing essential information about the Hindu temple in a nutshell to a layman.
A few ideas that may help activate the temple and its dynamic rehabilitation in the Hindu society have been presented in the-epilogue. It is hoped that these ideas will provide the-modem Hindu leaders with some food for serious thought.
