ABSTRACT
This research paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the economic and employment impact of Indian temples, with a focus on the temples in North India. The study is based on data collected from more than 200 villages in three districts of Haryana, including the number of temples, their size, the number of festivals and events organized, the number of people employed, and the revenue generated by the temples. The research found that the temples in India have a significant impact on the economy and employment of the country. They generate a substantial amount of revenue through donations, offerings, and other sources, which is used to maintain and develop the temple infrastructure, contributing to the local economy. The temples also provide employment opportunities to a large number of people, including priests, temple staff, and local people, who sell goods and services to the devotees. The study concludes that the temples in India play a crucial role in the economic and employment growth of the country, and more research is needed to further understand their impact. This research paper highlights the importance of temples as a driver of tourism and their role in India’s GDP.
