Hinduism - What Is A Mandir?


 (“home/temple”) The most frequent word for a temple in northern India where a deity's image has been erected and consecrated for worship.

Although such temples often contain facilities for congregational prayer, social life, or cultural events, the main purpose of the structure is to house the deities who are regarded the temple's true proprietors.
