Sundaram: A temple is really a board of a particular deity. it is where a deity in the form we want to worship that deity is. for example, Ayyappa has various forms and each temple worships that deity in that form, treating it as a home of the deity. for example, guruvayoor, while it is Krishna, it is krishna the child. the entire religious feeling is towards the deity in that form. to that extent, please consider my primary submission, a temple a religious institution is really an aboard of the deity.
