Multiple temples are units of three or five sancta (tridevālaya, pañcāyatana)
combined within one sacred complex, and sometimes sharing the same hall
(mandapa). They can be devoted to one single god (e.g. Śiva), or to different gods
such as Śiva, Vishnu and Sūrya (sun god), or they can comprise, according to our
pluralistic scheme, the protagonists of the Smārta movement; Śiva, Vishnu, Sūrya,
Śakti, Ganeśa. The multiple temples are able to validate our three categories that
should encompass all types of Indian temples: exclusivism, inclusivism, pluralism.
