The Hindu Temple v1.c8.s7.37

v1.c8.s7.37

In the quest for secrecy, the enclosure of the shed in Vedic rites, or also of the dolmen for purposes of the Hindu temple, was one way of attaining it. Another way less widely and only comparatively later resorted to in architectural form by the Hindus, led to cutting into the interior of the mountain, the living rock. The final solution is the Garbhagṛha within the Prāsāda with its superstructure like a mountain.
