A Mandir (temple) is a religious hall where Hindus assemble to pray to their God. It is not much different from a Church or any other holy shrine. Most Mandirs contains statues representing their respective Gods. Some Mandirs/Temples have seating accommodations like benches and chairs while others have mats for seating on the floor. Old temples have statues / carvings on the wall inside and outside as well. A Gopuram or Gopura, is a monumental tower, usually ornate, at the entrance of the Mandirs/Temples, especially in Southern India.

Why are mandirs in India different to those somewhere else?
I presume when you say different from those somewhere else, you mean in the architectural look. Well while temple architecture in general is something that has been given in ancient Hindu texts, the actual architecture of temples have been influenced by the times. So a king who had a particular desire to build multiple steeples, would do so and that became the look and feel. At a point of time when marble was available in large quantities, everything in the temple had a good dose of marble used in it. At a point of time when Islamic leaders ruled parts of India, that affected the architecture of the temples (as long as they did not demolish it). If you observe closely, there are significant differences in the mandirs within India - like those in Kerala, those in Rajasthan, those in Assam, and those in Kashmir are all quite signficantly different! But hey, as long as the worship of the supreme God is done with a sincere heart and mind, does it matter if the mandirs look different.....
