Nobody knows. In one temple in Lothal, near a city uncovered by archeologists and supposed to be 5,000 years old, in which the deity "Vaniar Devi" is still worshiped may be the oldest. Lothal was a sea-port and "Vaniar Devi" is related with trade. Similarly, temples in Kurukshetra, and crematoriums in Delhi (Nigambodha Ghat) and Varanasi (Dashashwamedha Ghat) are very old and may date from Mahabharata time.
