A tiered temple structure with steps leading up to it and a flag at the peak, styled after the tower architecture found on temples across India. It stands for Hindu places of worship and gets used in festival posts and expressions of faith, the counterpart to âĒ Church and đ Mosque for Hinduism.
What đ means
A two-folded temple architecture painted in brown, with a shorter tower-like structure (vimana) in front and a taller one behind it. Both these structures have independent gopuras (the dome) and shikaras (pinnacle). The taller pinnacle also has a flag on it.
The đ Hindu Temple emoji represents the impeccable temple architecture found in India, Sri Lanka, and other religious hotspots in various countries. Besides a type of clothing design, it also signifies the Hindu religion, belief, traditions, marriages, faith, and festivities too.
