The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is considered the house of the god to whom it is dedicated.
- Hindu temple architecture, which makes extensive use of squares and circles, has its roots in later Vedic traditions, which also influence the temples' construction and symbolism.
- Through astronomical numbers and particular alignments connected to the temple's location and the relationship between the deity and the worshipper, the temple's design also illustrates the idea of recursion and the equivalency of the macrocosm and the microcosm.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Hindu temple article was read about 92,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 89 and blocks with 96: each hit it takes is cut by 38 %.
