Therefore there are no scale to measure the quality of Hindu Temples. The existing Hindu Temples in Malaysia are of many scales; from icons under trees to medium scale temples. This dissertation, A Study on Hindu Temple Planning, Construction and The Vaastu is to analyse the relevance of Vaastu in building a Hindu Temple, with three temples in Pulau Pinang, Malaysia as the case study.
