The Mayan Gods' Place (uwaybil k'uh) is regarded as a holy place to pay tribute to the Mayan gods. The temple is considered to be the home of the gods and provides a place for the gods to rest and live. Therefore, these places are often covered with curtains, which not only adds to the intimacy of the place (as an atmosphere of a place of rest and relaxation), but also enhances its mystery (as a hidden place specially set for the gods).
These coverings are placed in the most sacred inner chambers of the Mayan temple, a private space open only to the highest level of priests. Therefore, these spaces emphasize the particularity of temples as places of religious admiration, rather than as public places of activity.
In other words, this is contrary to Emir Durkheim's theory of religious rituals as community solidarity. These sacred spaces are hidden places for individuals to perform necessary rituals, aiming to ensure harmony and balance with the life force of the cosmic foundation.
