Temple-and-Image Worship in Hinduism

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  15 March 2011

Extract

1. The use of images in Hindu temples and in Hindu homes is, perhaps, not absolutely universal to-day, as we shall see; but the non-conforming minority, if it still exists, is exceedingly minute. In every part of India temples and images may be seen; and the religious life of all classes of the people depends very largely on their use.
