Why there is need for every Sanatani to know his Temples well?

Bcoz our temples are the most ransacked religious places in the world

And if we don't know our temples, we will never be able to identify our gods as below...

Let us try to interpret the God in the picture.

There are 4 visible features left in this sculpture to identify.

1. Kundala - The Ear rings are "Ratna Kundala" worn by Vishnu. Can we say it as Vishnu? May be not because in some cases Shiva & Brahma also wears Ratna Kundala.
Lets check the second feature

2. Channavira - "X" shaped jewel on the chest of our gods & Goddesses. Can we say now atleast him as Vishnu. May be not because Channavira is worn by the warriors & all our Gods are warriors.
Let's check with the third feature.

3. Vaijayantimala - Garland worn specially by Vishnu class of Gods. So can we confirm him as Vishnu now. May be not because use of this element was predominantly done by rulers around 1000CE to other gods too.
Now only left is fourth feature.

4. Srivatsa - Endless knot on chest is seen in Vishnu. Now we can confirm him as "Vishnu"

This is the very reason, we must know our temples and Gods, if we don't identify our gods, who else will?
