For example, in Thai culture, mandapas are elongated meeting halls that lead to a Buddha image at one end; usually featuring a square roof and accompanied by a wihan outside near the entrance. Mandapas are incorporated into northern Indian Hindu temples; they may connect to the shrine directly, lead to intermediary spaces, or be completely detached from the shrine itself. ]]></dc:description></metadata>
