Hindu temple worship is primarily of four kinds, each of which involves some form of recitation of the names of the Lord, of saints, or of the devas, or demigods, powerful servants of God. The recitations may be repetitions of a mantra or may be melodious and poetic songs, with accompanying instrumentation. The commonly used instruments are kartals (finger cymbals), mridanga (a two-headed drum that can be held or carried), and harmonium (a hand-organ). Types of temple worship: 1. Japa - Individual silent or soft repetition of mantras. 2. Bhajan - Singing of religious songs, individually or in a group, usually accompanied by instruments. 3. Kirtan - Congregational singing and chanting of holy mantras, especially those containing names of God, such as Rama or Krishna. Kirtan is accompanied by instruments and simple dance. 4. Arotik - This is an ancient ceremony wherein certain pleasing articles are offered to the Lord in his deity form, accompanied by kirtan. There are many other forms of worship, for special occasions and for particular personalities or forms of the Supreme Lord.

Why is akshardham not the biggest Hindu temple?
That question usually comes from how we define “biggest,” because it can mean different things like area, height, structure size, or temple complex. Akshardham is actually one of the largest and most grand Hindu temple complexes in the world in terms of design, architecture, and campus scale, but it may not always be called the “biggest” because there are older temple complexes and pilgrimage sites that cover much larger overall land areas. For example, some traditional temple towns and ancient temple complexes in India have grown over centuries and include multiple shrines, halls, and surrounding sacred spaces, making their total size larger in a different sense. Also, Akshardham is relatively modern compared to many ancient temples, so comparisons are often based on historical, cultural, or pilgrimage importance rather than just physical dimensions. So it’s not really that Akshardham isn’t big, it’s actually massive and architecturally remarkable, but the title of “biggest” depends on what criteria people are using to measure a temple.
