Selogriyo Temple Tour Travel

A temple (from the Latin word templum) is a structure reserved for religious or spiritual activities, such as prayer and sacrifice, or analogous rites. A templum constituted a sacred precinct as defined by a priest, or augur.[1] 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. Some date as far back to the Bronze Age and later the Indus Valley Civilization. Today, Hindu temples have been built in various countries around the world, including India, Nepal, Great Britain, the United States, Australia, South Africa and Canada.
