In Hinduism, Temples were the focal point of life especially in the villages. They were repositories of not just of the Hindu religion but of knowledge in general. That is why you fnd ancient temples with stories carved on thier walls. Temples were places where people gathered at fixed times, interacted, discussed issues and built relationships. Other than the smaller village temples there were well known large temples which saw people from far and near leading to an exchange of ideas and thoughts. Temples were often places of philosophical as well as relgious debates and discussions.
