Buildings may not literally speak for themselves, yet when people keenly and sensitively pay attention, they communicate considerable information and insight. Architecture can serve as a measuring device-as an interpreter-of a given people from a certain time and at a particular location, including at Indias synagogues. In the process, these buildings become places where histories are written, life stories are generated, and memories are triggered. To the congregants who made use of these Jewish houses of prayer, the synagogues of India were settings where they prayed and learned, became a part of a mutual whole, joyously celebrated holidays like <em>Simchat Torah</em> and <em>Purim</em>, gathered for life cycle events such as Bnei Mitzvah and weddings, assembled to acknowledge solemn and timely events, made friends, and found spouses.
