A Mahāvīra Hall or Hall of Mahāvīra (Chinese: 大雄寶殿; pinyin: Dàxióngbǎodiàn; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Tōa--hiông-pó-tiān; literally: "Hall of the Great Hero") is the main building of a traditional temple complex in East Asian Buddhism, where Gautama Buddha and other buddhas and bodhisattvas are enshrined.[1][2] Along with a Hall of the Four Heavenly Kings and a depository for Buddhist texts, the Mahavira Hall is one of the three principal halls of an East Asian temple. Its Japanese equivalent is called a hondō.
