Hindu temples are places of worship dedicated to individual deities. They aim to dissolve boundaries between humans and the divine. Temple architecture follows ancient texts, with symbolic designs representing the cosmos. Worshippers remove shoes and offer prayers, food, and flowers with respect and rituals varying by region.
Ashrams are residential communities centered around a spiritual leader or guru, located in natural settings for meditation, yoga, and spiritual instruction. Famous gurus like Gandhi and Swami Sivananda established influential ashrams to spread teachings.
