Religious buildings are among the most photogenic architecture you can find… especially in the myriad of choices available to our multicultural society.

Imagine, going to a simple temple where you find a statue made of gold and Imagine going to a very stunning architectural worked temple where you find a statue made of stone…………….among these two I certainnly feel that you will feel better and comfortable with the state made of stone.

We must feel proud of the architects of the past and let me tell you that now we have more tools to continue creating, this kind of spaces and others.

Its an different realm altogether; something reflecting its own character and the character of the almighty sitting in it.
I don’t know much about mosques or chapels but the ancient hindu temples had something very intresting, holy and divine linked to them. Not long back, i got a chance to visit a few temples of Tamil Nadu.
I was there with my friends and as we entered, I felt that the aura of the art and architecture took over us. We were all together and separate at the same time, as if in someone elses territory. I realized it and I could make out the rest of my friends were feeling it too. And this was probably more because of the architecture of the place than the holy god residing in it.
This is what the quality of a space can do to you. It can make you feel strange things, somethings you have never felt before…
