'Raju is near the temple. You'll find it if you look carefully.'

Thank you Mister Micawber.
From the `dictionary.com'
in or somewhere near: He is about the house.

Why I can't use this meaning in my sentence (Raju is about the temple.........)?

Please help me.

"He is about the house" = he is somewhere inside the house.

You can say Raju is about the temple - it will mean that Raju is somewhere inside the temple or its surrounding grounds. It does not mean that he is "near the temple".
