A Hindu temple reflects a synthesis of arts, the ideals of dharma, beliefs, values, and the way of life cherished under Hinduism. It links man, deities, and the Universal Purusa in a sacred space. It represents the triple-knowledge (trayi-vidya) of the Vedic vision by mapping the relationships between the cosmos (brahmanda) and the cell (pinda) by a unique plan that is based on astronomical numbers.

Hindu temples served as nuclei of essential social, economic, artistic, and intellectual functions in ancient and medieval India. Burton Stein states that South Indian temples managed regional development functions, such as irrigation projects, land reclamation, post-disaster relief, and recovery. The art of crafting toys out of wood is an ancient tradition.
