Temples were sanctuaries, not because the building itself but because it was consecrated by a specific ritual and a dedication for that specific goddess. It was the "residence" of that God where they were having ceremonies, prayers and keeping in the religious objects and the ones that devoted worshippers offered. Sometimes they were also having senate/council meetings and they were celebrating triumph, because even if these 2 thinghs weren't sacred activities (they were profane) they were for the well-being of the citizens, so they still considered them as such.

India is a kaleidoscope of cultures that includes umpteen variations in food, clothing, language, music and religious beliefs. This colourful spread has been shaped by the long history and unique geography of this land. Though cut off from the world by three oceans and the highest chain of mountains, this penissula has been invaded time and again through the almost inaccessible mountain passes. Besides, more than four hundred main languages, there are thousands of others including dialects that are distinctly different to each other.The diversity of India’s languages can be understood by the fact that the Indian currency has 15 languages, besides Hindi and English, printed on it, and most sign boards are written in English, Hindi and the state language.India is one of the most religiously diverse nations of the world with each individual free to follow his own rites and beliefs.. Home to four of the world’s major religions, minor religions too play an important role in the lives of the people.
