The Bajoran temple in 2375.

The Bajoran temple (also called a Bajoran shrine) is a place of worship for the Bajoran faith.

There is a temple located on the Promenade of Deep Space 9. The temple holds services several times daily, and is where prayers are offered to the Prophets. On occasions when Orbs have passed through Deep Space 9, they were kept in a chamber inside the temple, protected by a force-field. The temple was established aboard the station during the Occupation of Bajor. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine)

In the weeks leading up to the start of the Dominion War in 2373, Morn went berserk after hearing Quark's prediction of the coming doom. He hit Quark with a barstool and ran through the Promenade and into the Temple, completely naked, and began crying to the Prophets for protection. (DS9: "Blaze of Glory")

In 2374, the Temple would be the site of a dramatic change in Bajoran and Federation affairs. Gul Dukat, possessed by a Pah-wraith he had released on Cardassia Prime, transported into the Temple, killed Jadzia Dax and released the wraith into the Orb of Contemplation. This started a celestial war between the Prophets and the Pah-wraith, that collapsed the entrance to the Bajoran wormhole. (DS9: "Tears of the Prophets")
