In India, most temples are traditionally built facing east, as this direction is considered auspicious and symbolizes the rising sun. However, there are some temples that face south, often associated with specific deities or regional practices. The orientation can vary based on local customs, architectural styles, and the intended symbolism of the temple. Ultimately, while south-facing temples exist, they are less common than those facing east.
