Sacred spots. In Malay膩lam it means Temples also.

General information.

The temples of India are reflections of the outward form or body of man. As the soul lives in the body of man, God dwells in the temples. The stone, rock, marble, metals etc. are equal to the bones of the body of a man.

Two types of temples.

Temples are of two types. One type is the 骋谤腻尘补诲别惫补迟腻 temples. These are temples in which goddess 叠丑补诲谤补办腻濒墨 is consecrated and worshipped for the protection of villages and cities. The second type is of special temples. These are temples specially meant for a particular god or goddess. Thus there are temples for 痴颈峁ａ箛耻, 艢颈惫补, 骋补峁嘺辫补迟颈 and so on.

骋谤腻尘补诲别惫补迟腻 temples.

Worship of 叠丑补诲谤补办腻濒墨 existed in India from very early times. When Mohanjodaro and Harappa were excavated idols of 顿别惫墨 (goddess) more than 4000 years old, were obtained from there. During the prevalence of Buddhism in India the goddesses Yaks墨 and H膩rit墨 were worshipped in India. Later when Hinduism was revived these goddesses took their places in it as the goddesses of Hindu 笔耻谤腻峁嘺蝉 and epics. The 碍腻濒墨 temples of 鲍箩箩补测颈苍墨 and Calcutta are famous. In the Cidambara temple also the main deity is 碍腻濒墨. The legend is that 笔补谤补尘补艣颈惫补 defeated 碍腻濒墨 in a dance. In Mysore 颁腻尘耻峁囜笉墨 (碍腻濒墨) is worshipped as chief goddess or family goddess. 碍腻尘腻办峁Ｄ� in 碍腻帽肠墨, 惭墨苍腻办峁Ｄ� in Madura (South India), M奴k膩mbik膩 in North 碍补谤峁嚹佱弓补办补 and so on are the gentle and peaceful forms of 碍腻濒墨.
