Abstract In this article, the functional and componential relationship of Iranian and Indian architecture is reviewed. Also, the architectural relationship is considered in order to determine how it made a prominent model of economic and architectural relationship between the two countries since 1932 to 1965. Interconnections strengthen the architecture of these countries via the presence of religious buildings and promote exchange of art, which is expressed in the article.The Hindu temple in Bandar Abbas reflects the artistic relation of the two countries. It also shows the mythical period (Vishny, Shiv, Brahma) during which the temple existed. What will be achieved from the dome and interior and exterior architecture of this building include these factors: symmetry in Islamic buildings especially the Hindu Temple in Bandarabbas, cultural relationships between Iran and Indian, Lotus in Iranian buildings such as Perspolis and Indian buildings such as wetlands, similarities of Hindu Dome (the thousand-head snake, 72 mini towers indicating 72 Angkor temples as well as Islamic religions of men and women), relation of the dome with the gods of Vishnu, the crest of the dome, paintings on the wall, various religions, beliefs and traditions, the art of building religious structures, the internal elements, vaults and porches, the relationship of architectural elements in this building and their compatibility with the kind of architecture in Bandarabbas (the structural elements used in the building).
