What is a "mandir"?

Answer 1

A MANDIR means a Hindu temple, is a house of worship for followers of Hinduism. They are usually specifically reserved for religious and spiritual activities.

A Hindu temple can be a separate structure or a part of a building. A feature of most temples is the presence of murtis of the Hindu deity to whom the temple is dedicated. They are usually dedicated to one primary deity, called the presiding deity, and other subordinate deities associated with the main deity. However, some temples are dedicated to several deities, and some have symbols instead of a murti.

Elements of worship
Most priests at the Mandir take elaborate measures to maintain mental and physical purity of the temple. While most devotees cannot maintain such regimens, there are some basic rules that must be followed in all Hindu temples; this include being barefoot within the temple, and being dressed and behaving with decorum. The innermost sanctums may be accessible only to priests, or only to worshippers. Here Prana Pratishta of the diety or Murthi is done to invoke the divine spirit-energy into the statue made in God's form. Once this ceremony has been performed the murti must be worshipped daily.-
