Abstract	Every culture and era has a distinctive building style that is unique to it and reflects the philosophy, technological development, artistic expression, and architectural style of that particular era or civilization. Hindu temples are the peak of science, artistry, architecture, and tradition. They serve as a representation of the historical developments in building science on the Indian subcontinent. The theology and customs of the Hindu Temples are still in existence today, maintaining the persistence of the traditional Indian principles and having a great influence on the socioeconomic well-being of the population. This paper highlights the various architectural styles and elements found in Hindu temples and discusses the structural systems, building techniques, and designs employed in them. The major purpose is to decode the linkages in history that establish a secure connection between architecture and Hinduism and to understand the theory of design in traditional temple architecture in India.
