TEMPLE ARCHITECTURE

A Temple, also called a devalya literally translated to "house of God". Built in the image of a cosmic being - Vastu Purusha, it consists of various elements as explained in Vishwakarma Vastu Purusha:

"गरबा गृह सिराहपोक्तम अंतरालम गलामथाथा अर्ध मंडपम हृदयस्थानम कुचिस्थानम मंडपमहन मेध्रस्थानेशु द्वाजस्तंभम प्रकरम जंजुआंगीचा गोपुरम पदयोस्केथा पदस्य अंगुला पोकथाह गोपुरम स्तुपस्थथा एंगुला पोकथा गोपुरम स्तुपस्थथाम”

Meaning: Garba-griham (main sanctum) is equated with human head; antarala (vestibule) is equated with human neck; ardha – mandapam (half-hall) is compared with human chest; maha – mandapam (main hall) is equated with the stomach; flag-post is viewed along with human male organ;and gopuram or temple gateway tower is viewed along with human feet.

WHAT IS A WATER TEMPLE?

The naturally filtered Ganga water is stored in a sacred vessel "Water Temple". This holy water brings to life the complete experience of the aliveness of Ganga throughout the basin in the form of a sensory engagement with different energy forms of mother Ganga realizing the oneness of our human bodies with the water cycle.

MODERN EXPERIENCES ROOTED IN TRADITION

It will be a demonstration site for sustainable technology, renewable energy, zero environmental footprint building techniques and integrated with a natural water filtration system creating harmonizing body energy centres of each individual with the water cycle.

A functional symbol of united Indian effort for generations to come, conforming to United Nations’ Charter of Sustainable Goals 2030.
