Speaker: Dr. Kanniks Kannikeswaran
Hindu temples and traditions occupy an important place in the Hindu mind, both in India and amongst the diaspora. The temple heritage of India constitutes a treasure trove of knowledge preserved and passed on through the ages.
Modern-day temples in large metros and in the diaspora reflect the collective memories of traditions spanning centuries. There is more to temples than what meets the eye. Temples are not mere congregational sites or prayer halls; they are a sacred space to commune with the source or oneness of existence. And they have been centers of culture for millennia.
This webinar provides an overview of Hindu temples and traditions with emphasis on architecture, sculpture, worship and festival traditions, sthala-puranas, and more.
