Best hindu temples to visit worldwide
A Hindu temple is the house of a god, and its plan leads from the everyday world to the dark inner sanctum where the main image lives. In South India look for the towering gateways called gopurams, pillared halls and a temple tank; in North India and Nepal, a curved spire or tiered pagoda roofs over the shrine. Balinese temples are different again: open-air courts divided by split gates, with tiered meru shrines and pavilions rather than one enclosed building.
How to visit a Hindu temple: dress, shoes and access — What to wear, what to leave at the gate and where non-Hindus may go in Hindu temples in India, Nepal, Bali and South-East Asia.
