Siva Temple
The Siva Temple is a place of worship dedicated to Lord Shiva, one of the principal deities in Hinduism. These temples are often characterized by intricate carvings, towering spires, and sacred symbols associated with Shiva, such as the lingam. They serve as spiritual centers where devotees come to offer prayers, perform rituals, and seek blessings.
Typically, a Siva Temple features a sanctum sanctorum, where the main idol or representation of Shiva is housed. Many temples also include shrines for other deities, reflecting the diverse practices within Hindu worship. Festivals, such as Maha Shivaratri, attract large crowds, celebrating the significance of Shiva in Hindu culture.
