Temple of Doom



The Temple of Doom is a cavernous temple that was a place of worship built by the Thuggee cult to honor the goddess Kali, and the titular location in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

The temple itself was built deep underground beneath Pankot Palace in India. The main temple room was divided by a chasm filled with lava below.

Worshippers and musicians would stay on the main side of the room, while focusing their attention on the ritualistic activity on the other side of the chasm.

At the center of the smaller side of the temple, stood a large statue of Kali, and an altar in the shape of a skull that housed the Sankara Stones. In front of the statue of Kali was a hole in the ground, which leads to hot boiling lava. Human sacfrices could be lowered in a cage into the vent.
