A temple should consist of Karpagiraham, one stage Vimanam, Kalasam, Artha Mandapam, Maha Mandapam, Vasantha Mandapam, Simmam, Palipeedam, Kodimaram, Prakaram surrounding, Salahaaran frontage and kitchen which are compulsory. Rajagopuram can be erected when the temple is financially sound.

A temple comprising of all the above mentioned basic structures can be accepted as a Hindu temple.

There should be a sufficient Hindu population in that particular area. There should be more Hindus residing in the vicinity of the particular area. More Hindus should patronize the Temple for daily and weekly prayers. The temple should be erected on own land or government gazetted land. Prior approval and licensing from the government agencies should be obtained for erecting and functioning of the temple.

Temples should not be built on illegal land, others’ property, garbage disposal land, sanitary land, sanitary recycle area, near drains, polluted area, places of Evil doings, near an abattoir, near houses, inside a house compound.

Temples built in such areas when demolished by the government authorities, it not only brings disgrace to the Hindu Community but it’s also a dishonour to Hindu Sastram. Ko means King (Arasan) King of Universe and il means Palace (Illam).
Therefore, Kovil (Temple) should be built after its true meaning. Places of worship in a hut, under a tree, roadside and in a house compound cannot be considered as a true Temples. -itimes.my
