Hi! Priya,

Here are some examples from history which may help you in 
knowing the significance of worshipping God in temples. Even 
though Great saints have realized God with in self,they have 
poured out their Bhakti in worshipping God in Idol form in 
temples.Here are few instances that will be sound:

Kulasekara Alwar has sung "Padiyay Kidanthu Un pavazha Vai 
Kanbebe", and also "TiruVenkata malaiyil ethenum avene"
on Lord Venkatachalapathy.

Tiruppanalwar has sung in praise of Lord Ranganatha longing for 
his Darshan from the opposite bank of kaveri.

One of the nayanars in a Siva temple has sung for the darshn of 
Lord by asking the Nandhi to move a bit on one side so that ti 
does'nt block the Darshan.

There are many instances from the Bhakti cult which clearly 
show the significance of worshipping God in temples.

Hope this may help you.

Dasan,
Ramanan
