Temple of Karnak - Temple of Khonsu from inside


Temple of Khonsu from insideThere is a regular pattern to New Kingdom temples. First a monumental pylon leading to an open court, surrounded by colonnades. Then a roofed hypostyle hall followed by smaller rooms leading to the sanctuary in which the image of the god was housed.

They were called festival temples and were arranged to suit the processional ceremonies that were held within their walls.
