MargSummary: A direct replica of an Indian temple does not exist in Southeast Asia, but adaptations are plentiful. Their presence in Nepal, Sri Lanka and Afghanistan strike us as regional expressions of a shared and interlinked history. This section’s brief survey of the variety of temples within South Asia finds that no one normative model lays down how a temple ought to look. Research in post colonialism, multiculturalism and related areas has led to a view of culture as not being limited to a geography, but being able to thrive even in a condition of mobility. Writings over the past few decades have shown that a transcultural model for exchange enables us to see the patronage of those particularities that moved from Southeast Asia to South Asia rather than as a one-way transference.
