Q: How long should I stay off the new asphalt? Normally, 24-hours is all that is required to use your new asphalt surface. In very warm weather, we recommend staying off the fresh asphalt for 1 - 2 days, as the surface cools.
A Hindu temple is meant to encourage reflection, facilitate purification of oneâs mind, and trigger the process of inner realization within the devotee. The specific process is left to the devoteeâs school of belief.
Temples marked the transition of Hinduism from the Vedic religion of ritual sacrifices to a religion of Bhakti or love and devotion to a personal deity. Temple construction and mode of worship is governed by ancient Sanskrit scriptures called agamas, of which there are several, which deal with individual deities.
