Civilopedia entry[]

The Maya godhouse – the uwaybil k’uh – was a place of veneration for the Maya deities. Temples were houses for the gods, places where the deities could rest and be at home. As such, they were often covered by a cloth, at once enhancing the familiarity of the place (i.e. its appearance as a place of rest and relaxation) as well as its otherworldliness (i.e. this place of rest was intended for a divine being). These coverings were located in the innermost sanctum of a Maya temple, a place closed off to all but the most high-ranking priests. As such they emphasized the temples as places of religious veneration, not communal activity. In other words, the idea that religious rites are moments that bring a community together (a theory of Émile Durkheim) is contradicted here. These were places where individuals could perform the necessary duties that ensure the cooperation and placation of the vital forces underpinning the universe in seclusion.
