Panchayatana is a traditional Hindu temple architecture style that involves the worship of five deities. The term "Panchayatana" translates to "five abodes," referring to the five shrines dedicated to different gods, typically including Shiva, Vishnu, Shakti, Surya, and Ganesha. This arrangement allows devotees to honor multiple deities in a single temple complex. In a Panchayatana setup, the main shrine is usually dedicated to one principal deity, while the other four shrines are positioned around it. This design promotes a holistic approach to worship, emphasizing the interconnectedness of various divine aspects in Hinduism.
