Temple Worship is a category for books that explore worship conducted in dedicated sacred spaces—temples—across world traditions. It encompasses devotional, historical, and scholarly works on the meaning of sacred space; ritual sequences and liturgies (such as pūjā, offerings, sacrifice, and sacred meals); priesthood and lay participation; temple etiquette; pilgrimage and festival cycles; and the arts of worship, including music, dance, architecture, and iconography. The category includes translations and commentaries on ritual texts, archaeological and epigraphic studies, ethnographies of contemporary temple communities, and comparative or regional histories (e.g., Hindu, Buddhist, Jain, Jewish, Shinto, Greco-Roman, LDS). Titles range from practical guides for devotees to academic analyses of theology, sociology, economy, governance, and the temple’s role in community life.
