What is a "temple"?

A temple is a building or structure dedicated to worship or religious activities. It is typically associated with specific religions, such as Hinduism, Buddhism, or ancient Greek and Roman beliefs. Temples are often designed with distinct architectural features, such as large columns, statues, or altars, to create a sacred space. Inside, there may be shrines or idols representing deities, and the space is used for prayer, rituals, and ceremonies. Temples can vary greatly in size and style, from simple structures to grand, elaborate buildings. They are often considered places of spiritual significance and community gatherings.

What is "temple"?

The temple is the flattened area on the side of the head, just above the cheekbone and in front of the ear. It is located on both sides of the face and is often characterized by a slight indentation or hollow. The temple region is composed of various tissues, including skin, muscle, and bone. It serves as an important anatomical landmark and is also known for its sensitivity, as it is closer to the surface of the skull and houses some major blood vessels. The temples are involved in facial expressions, such as squinting or raising the eyebrows, and are often associated with tension or pressure sensations, particularly during headaches or sinus-related discomfort.
