A lighthouse is a tower-like structure that is built near the water's edge to guide ships and boats safely through the waters, while a temple is a large, ornate building that is primarily used for religious purposes. Lighthouses are typically constructed using materials such as concrete and stone, while temples are built using materials such as marble, limestone, and granite. Additionally, lighthouses are often utilitarian in design, with an emphasis on functionality, while temples are usually highly ornate, with intricate carvings, sculptures, and decorative features.
