❓ How is the Garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum) designed and why?

The Garbhagriha, literally meaning 'womb chamber', is designed as a perfect cube according to the Skanda Purana. This innermost sanctuary houses the main deity and is considered the most sacred space in a temple.

Key aspects of Garbhagriha design include:

• Thick walls for maintaining constant temperature and energy
• Strategic positioning to capture first sun rays
• Specific dimensions that create resonance frequencies aiding meditation

Research has shown that the cube shape and precise measurements create a focused energy field that enhances spiritual experiences. The darkness inside helps minimize external sensory input, facilitating deeper meditation.
