Another name for garbhagriha is sanctum sanctorum.
The major deity's murti (idol or icon) is kept in the sanctum sanctorum, often referred to as the garbhagriha or Santhanam, in Hindu and Jain temples. The name Mulnayaka is used to refer to the primary deity of Jainism. The name translates to "womb chamber" because it comes from the Sanskrit terms garbha, which means "womb," and griha, which means "house." Despite its frequent association with Hindu temples, the expression is employed at Jain and Buddhist temples. Hinduism has traditionally only allowed "priests" (pujari) access to this room, though, in modern practice, this limitation is frequently substantially relaxed. The chamber normally has only one door that faces east to let the sun enter in the morning and no windows.
