Temple 

Religion

A temple is a structure reserved for religious worship or sacrifice. Some religions use this generic term:

• Temples of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
• Shaolin
• Temple in Jerusalem

Some religions refer to their temples by a unique word of their own:

• Christian temples are called churches and cathedrals,
• a Hindu temple is called a mandir,
• an Islamic temple is called a mosque (masjid in Arabic).

Architecture

In various historical periods, specific architectural styles were maintained strictly for major religious structures. These temple structures, along with military and palace structures, have often been the main surviving studied examples of certain kinds of architecture. In particular, Greek and Roman temple architecture has been a major influence in Western public architecture. See list of ancient temple structures.

The adjective meaning "pertaining to the temple" is "temporal", not to be confused with "temporal" meaning "pertaining to time". The muscle whose origin is the temple and whose insertion is the jaw is called "temporalis".

He had no sooner arrived in a hall hung with tapestry, indeed suspended by the sight of an excellent breakfast, of which meal, than he made the tour of the apartment, examining the room. He then returned to his chair, and throwing himself back his jack-boot with the riding-rod which he carried in his hand, society of his betters, he delivered his unasked opinion as defensible sort of a tenement, and yet it is hardly such as a holding out for many days. For, Sir Duncan, if it pleases you to we military men say, by yonder round hillock to the landward, make ye glad to beat a chamade within forty-eight hours, unless which cannon can be brought against Ardenvohr. The swamps and yourself, excepting by such paths as could be rendered impassable so; and yet we martial men say, that where there is a sea-coast where they cannot be transported by land, may be right easily action. Neither is a castle, however secure in its situation, to for I protest t'ye, Sir Duncan, that I have known twenty-five point of pike, as strong a hold as this of Ardenvohr, and put to ten times their own number."
