The Hindu Temple v1.c8.s6.25

v1.c8.s6.25

Ritual action and architectural form express one and the same meaning. The structure of the temple accompanies, follows and translates into a relative permanence the rites and their rhythmic formulae (mantra). The rite for the elevation of the Temple is the Garbhādhāna, the insemination of the site with the 'seed' of the temple.
