Home Dictionary Name: public templePublic temple
Public temple, denotes a temple belonging to a family which is a private temple is not unknown to Hindu law. In the case of a private temple it is also not unlikely that the religious reputation of the founder may be of such a high order that the private temple founded by him may attract devotees in large numbers, and the mere fact that a large number of devotees are allowed to worship in the temple would not necessarily make the private temple a public temple. On the other hand, if the public is allowed to worship the deity installed, in such a case the temple would be a public temple, Tilkayat Shri Govindallji Maharaj v. State of Rajasthan, AIR 1963 SC 1683....
Temple
Temple, is as 'an edifice or place regarded primarily as the dwelling place or 'house' of a deity; hence an edifice devoted to divine worship. Historically, the word is applied to sacred buildings of Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, etc., but now to those of Hindu-ism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Shintoism, etc.' The essence of the matter is the existence of a place of public religious worship. In the case of a temple, it becomes a place of public religious worship when the idol is installed and consecrated and the pranaprathishta or vivification ceremony is performed. 'Until then, it is elementary knowledge that the image does not become an object of worship. The deity does not begin to reside in the Idol (the visible image) until the consecration or the appropriate ceremony is completed, T.V.D. Naidu v. Commissioner, Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments (Administration) Department, Madras, AIR 1989 Mad 60. (See also New English Dictionary, Vol. IX, Part II)Means a place, by whatev...

Education
Education. Mr. Forster's Elementary Education Act, 1870 (English) (33 & 34 Vict. c. 75), is the starting point in the history of the provision by legislation of a general system of education. Before this date education had been dealt with either as a series of individual problems in respect of which provisions were made for the education of special classes of persons, or by executive, as opposed to legislative methods, as, for example, by a system of grants in aid. This Act was followed by a series of Acts, known collectively as the Education Acts, 1870 to 1919, which together established a system of free and compulsory elementary education of a non-denominational character. The initial Act established 'school boards' with powers of building and maintaining elementary schools and of regulating the attendance of school children between the ages of 5 and 13. The El. Ed. Act, 1876, declared 'the duty of the parent of every child to cause such child to receive efficient elementary educatio...

Institutions
Institutions. It was the object of Justinian to comprise in his Code and Digest, or Pandects, a complete body of law. But these works were not adapted to the purposes of elementary instruction, and the writings of the ancient jurists were no longer allowed to have any authority, except so far as they had been incorporated in the digest, Smith's Dict. of Antiq. It was therefore necessary to prepare an elementary treatise, and the Institutes were published a month before the Pandects, A.D. 533, and designed as an elementary introduction to legal study (legum cunabula). The work was divided into four books, subdivided into titles.The Institutes are the elements of the Roman Law, and were composed at the command of the Emperor Justinian, by Trebonian, Dorotheus, and The ophilus, who took them from the writings of the ancient lawyers, and chiefly from those of Gaius especially from his Institutes and his books called Aureorum (i.e., of important matters).The Institutes are divided into four...
