What the inside of an LDS (Mormon) temple looks like is not a secret. Before the dedication of each new temple, they are opened up to the public in a several week-long open house. Many thousands of people are freely allowed inside to see the different rooms and feel the Spirit of the Lord that resides there. Pictures of the outside and inside are published by the Church. Then the building is closed to the public and is dedicated to the Lord and set apart for the work of performing gospel ordinances for the salvation of the living and the dead, the Atonement of Jesus Christ making it all possible.
See a short video inside the newest temple of the Church in Rexburg, Idaho, compiled from published photographs from the LDS Church.
This is really good to show people, especially those who are not LDS and not familiar with temples. Sometimes people not aquainted with the temple think it is a secret what goes on inside LDS temples. It isn’t.
We perform vicarious baptisms for the dead (mentioned in the New Testament) in the baptismal font, like the one shown in this video. We are sealed (married) in the sealing rooms, like those shown. We also participate in a ceremony called the Endowment, in the rooms shown, where we learn more about the Plan of Salvation, the Atonement, our place and role in it, and a brief history of the creation and beginning of the Earth.
For any that would like to see a temple, there is probably an open house for a temple nearby you soon. I would suggest checking the LDS temple page for more info.
