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 a "mosque"?

A mosque is a place of worship for Muslims, serving as a center for religious activities and community gatherings. Typically, mosques feature a large prayer hall where worshippers gather for prayers, especially on Fridays, which is a special day for communal worship. They often have a minaret, a tall tower from which the call to prayer is announced, and may include decorative elements like domes, arches, and intricate patterns. Many mosques also provide spaces for learning, community events, and social activities, making them important cultural and religious hubs within Muslim communities.
