In Hinduism, the human body is seen as a miniature universe (पिंड),
While the cosmos is the greater universe (ब्रह्मांड)—“यत् पिंडे तत् ब्रह्मांडे”,
Meaning whatever exists in the universe also exists within the body.
The body is not just flesh and bones, but a sacred vessel of cosmic energies, where chakras correspond to universal forces and planets.
Similarly, a Hindu temple is designed like a cosmic body: the garbhagriha (sanctum) represents the heart, the shikhara symbolizes the head, and the mandala reflects the order of the universe.
Just as prana flows through the human body via nadis, divine energy flows through the temple structure. Worship, therefore, is not outside us—it awakens the same divinity within.
In short, body, temple, and universe are three expressions of one cosmic truth, alag-alag dikhte hain par tattva ek hi hai—sab kuchh usi Brahman ka khel hai...
