This study explores the integrated framework of Indian philosophy (Darśana), oral traditions, and sacred temple architecture as foundational elements of Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS). Drawing upon select temple sites—Kashi Vishwanath, Khajuraho, Baijnath, Vrindavan, and Kalka Devi—the research examines how metaphysical concepts are not only textual but spatially and performatively embodied. Employing an interdisciplinary methodology combining textual analysis, architectural symbolism, oral narrative traditions, and ethnographic insights, the study demonstrates how Indian sacred spaces function as living theatres of philosophical thought. It further highlights how storytelling, Bhakti poetry, and ritual performances translate abstract metaphysics into accessible, communal experiences. By aligning thought, space, and expression, this inquiry underscores the continued relevance of India’s civilizational wisdom in contemporary educational and ethical discourses, especially in the context of initiatives like Viksit Bharat 2047.
