Answer:
Nature worship or naturism[1] is any of a variety of religious, spiritual and devotional practices that focus on the worship of the nature spirits considered to be behind the natural phenomena visible throughout nature.[2] A nature deity can be in charge of nature, a place, a biotope, the biosphere, the cosmos, or the universe. Nature worship is often considered the primitive source of modern religious beliefs[citation needed] and can be found in theism, panentheism, pantheism, deism, polytheism, animism, totemism, shamanism, paganism and sarnaism. Common to most forms of nature worship is a spiritual focus on the individual's connection and influence on some aspects of the natural world and reverence towards it.
Explanation:
When we speak of Hinduism(Sanathana dharma), It consists of Two parts the spiritual and the cultural aspect.
Before we discuss Idol worship in Hinduism, we should know why basically idol worship started even though in Hinduism we state "Aham Brahmasmi"(which means god is within you).
I dunno how you feel about it, but i'll try to explain in terms of science than as a spiritualist. Today everyone speaks of positive energy and positive thinking. Where to get these positive energy and drive out negative thoughts and energy, was the problem faced by ancient indian scientists(rishi's).
Initially they were writing some drawing's on a certain kind of paper like material called and they would energize these by . means machine, was used to fuel the yantra, to fill us with positive energy and positive thoughts.
Later these Rishi's tought of making big yantra's, which yielded in the result of bigger yantra's of size and dimension. But these yantra's were only used by, individual people and a family. Not everybody could afford to keep one at home and the dis advantage was they needed to be energized frequently after the eclipse. So the rishi's thought of building bigger Yantra which was more efficient. Then came the concept of temple.
Temple's have their own architecture which is called in Veda's as shastra, to build temple's. which are nothing but energizing centres for public which had more life than normal Yantra's. This is the reason behind Temple's India.
What you call Idol's in temple are not Actually Idol's. They are the center of the temple which concentrates the whole energy of the temple and above that main shrine a kalasa will be placed to harness the cosmic energy into the temple.
If we god is everywhere, why can't they see it inside a temple?
Muslims worship in a direction, can we say is god only in that direction?
Now lets come to the spiritual part of Idol worship, why does anyone need spiritual worship, or why should anyone worship god inside a temple only.
In Hinduism(Sanathana dharma), we worship plants, rivers, hills, and anything which supports human life, in order to respect the environment and pay a respect to it. Not just in temples we worship god everywhere because he is everywhere.
Idol is just a symbol of what you want to become, what is that you like in nature, what you want to accomplish in your life. As you can see, we have gods from human in nature to Hanuman in nature. We don't differentiate any living beings, we worship any living thing which has served the human kind with morals and lessons everyone should learn.
I'll be giving an example, this might help you understand it.
