Idol, literally an image (from the Greek eidolon), particularly an image used as an object of worship.
In philosophy, the word can mean a prejudice of some kind that hinders clear thought. It was used in this sense by Giordano Bruno and adopted from him by Sir Francis Bacon, who in a celebrated passage of his Novum Organum distinguished four kinds of idol, namely: “idols of the tribe,” prejudices more or less common to the whole human race; “idols of the cave,” prejudices peculiar to individuals; “idols of the market place,” prejudices encouraged by one’s social group and mother tongue; and “idols of the theatre,” prejudices or false notions taught and encouraged by various schools of thought.
In pop music entertainment, an idol refers to an entertainer, generally from their teens to mid-20s, whose image and attractiveness are marketed to maintain a close relationship and financial loyalty with fans
Murti (Sanskrit: मूर्ति, ISO: Mūrti; lit. ’form, embodiment, or solid object’) is a general term for an image, statue or idol of a deity or mortal in Hindu culture. In Hindu temples, it is a symbolic icon. A murti is itself not a god in Hinduism, but it is a shape, embodiment or manifestation of a deity. Murti are also found in some nontheistic Jainist traditions, where they serve as symbols of revered mortals inside Jain temples, and are worshiped in murtipujaka rituals.
In the practice of religion, a cult image is a human-made object that is venerated or worshipped for the deity, spirit or daemon that it embodies or represents. In several traditions, including the ancient religions of Egypt, Greece and Rome, and modern Hinduism, cult images in a temple may undergo a daily routine of being washed, dressed, and having food left for them.
