Abstract

It is a matter of fact that we may say that man cannot live apart from society and religion. Today the goal of religion is not only liberation, but it is more concerned with social welfare, social relation, social concession and national integration. Religion is for the betterment of human beings. Social welfare and service of humanity is the call of all religions. And hence religion must be viewed as a part of culture through society. In this paper our aim is to highlight the impact of religion and temple on society.
