A Mandir or Hindu sanctuary is an emblematic house, seat and collection of godlikeness for Hindus. It is a construction intended to bring individuals and divine beings together, utilizing imagery to communicate the thoughts and convictions of Hinduism. Hindus usually perform worship in temples or at home to achieve some specific end or to integrate the body, mind and spirit. The aim is to live a pure life in order to help the performer reincarnate into a higher being.
