prayer halls
Rooms for devotion
Prayer halls are rooms or buildings designated for communal worship and religious devotion.
The term applies across faiths—a mosque's main room, a meditation space in a Buddhist temple, or a chapel in an airport.
Unlike churches or mosques, which name specific religious structures, prayer hall is neutral and descriptive: The university opened a multi-faith prayer hall.
