This lecture on The Hindu Temple outlines the evolution from early cave temples in the 1st Century BC, to the elaborate and richly decorated temples up to the 16th Century and covers the styles that evolved in different parts of the Indian sub-continent. The temple is an integral part of the local community and the lecture will show the many ways in which the temple is used.

Dr Michael O'Brien has had a long interest in early Hindu sculpture and architecture, having made many visits to South and South East Asia, developing a particular interest in Khmer art and architecture. He has lectured to many societies on these topics, in the UK, France, the USA and two tours in Australia, including the South and Southeast Asian courses at the British Museum, the Victoria and Albert Museum, the School of Oriental and African Studies and the Royal Archaeological Institute.
