Event 15
Significance and Spirituality of Temple Architecture
This fully illustrated talk will cover the origin and development of Hindu religious structures using archaeological remains. It will explain the symbolism and meaning of Vastupurusha Mandala and how the ground plan and elevation of a temple is related to the human body. The physical experience of visiting a temple is akin to the spiritual experience of Kundalini rising through meditation over the seven Chakras in the Hindu tradition.
