About Buddhist temple

Buddhists visit temples for religious worship. These temples are known by various names such as vihara, chaitya stupa, wat and pagoda, depending on the region and language. Buddhist temples are seen as a representation of a Buddha's tranquil and serene environment. They are intended to bring about inner tranquility and outer peace, and their designs may differ depending on the region. Usually, the temple consists not only of its buildings, but also the surrounding environment. The Buddhist temples are designed to symbolize 5 elements: Fire, Air, Earth, Water, and Wisdom.
