Mandirs represent a Vedic tradition of building, maintaining, and preserving physical spaces to uphold the philosophy of Hinduism. The rituals and traditions celebrated at mandirs connect individuals to their families, communities, and to Bhagwan. Mandirs ensure that the legacy of Hinduism's oldest teachings is shared with future generations for many years to come. The size of mandirs vary from small, simple shrines to elaborate stone edifices. BAPS mandirs are traditionally categorized as either 'shikharbadhha mandirs' or ‘hari mandirs’. Shikharbadhha mandirs are built largely of stone and signature architectural pinnacles whereas hari mandirs are built using modern materials such as steel, concrete, cement. Another major distinction is that in shikharbadhha mandirs, the aarti is performed five times daily, while in hari mandirs, the aarti is performed twice daily. In addition to spiritual practice, BAPS mandirs teach the arts, language, music, and philosophy that are the roots of Hindu heritage. BAPS mandirs also host various charitable efforts for local communities throughout the year such as walkathons, health fairs, blood drives, and more.
In Indian culture every temple has the same kind of engraving. It’s represented Indian culture and era. Therefore this dissertation through archival research and other documentary, literary works and theoretical investigation on ancient treatise and modern research works on the temple architecture of India brings out the concepts that have been adopted since ancient times for the construction of the sacred Hindu temples, the science involved in the construction of the temple structure and the processes involved along with the skill it took to build such edifices. Together these aspects bring out the art, science and philosophy behind the construction of the Hindu temple which is as relevant today as it used to be in the ancient times. A continuity of tradition and a science which has its root in the dawn of human consciousness.
