Introduction to the 2nd Edition

"Going to press for the 2nd impression of Temple book in a short period of 5 years! what a lucky chap you are" buttered a comrade-in-arms in jest, rather out of zest in truth, While meeting at the press. This reflects the sorry state of authors and the taste of the reading community. Well! nothing can change, but one thing that is discernable is - there is some curiosity in the theist or tourist community to 'stand and stare' at the titles for procuring temple books either in the libraries or book shops. I presume it is a good sign for the revival of interest to visiting temples or knowing about the icons. This is the prime cause for bringing out the 2nd edition of this book. Though my investment did not yield good returns, I am venturing again to appease the thirst of those who stretch their hands for the books, I am releasing on after another, nearing twenty in number.
