Temple is a creative communication of the inner experiences into the outer world.
At the site of a temple, the life-giving energy should always be greater than the life-destroying energy.
When these sacred places were destroyed, the life-giving Vastu structure of India was severely damaged.
The Buddhist temple of Borobudur is a Sri Yantra.
Devatas are the different forms of our consciousness.
Devatas illuminate our intellect, emotions and senses with knowledge.
Natyashastra is as sacred and ancient treatise as the Vedas.
Adiyogi Shiva accepted it & was called Natraj.
The goal of Indian Art is to penetrate into the inner most Rasa of being.
Temples and Idol worship made India the most prosperous and culturally rich country.
Music, dance, dramas are all integrated in India alone.
How did Bhakti movement revolutionize Temple architecture?
How Temples, Tirtha & Pilgrimage united India?
How Temples became the laboratories of Natyashastra?
