Can I say,
(a)Hindu prays in the Indian temple.
(b)Indian prays at the temple.
(c)Ina prays in an Indian temple.
  

Top answer

If Ina is the name of a person, (c) is correct. If you are making a generalisation, you usually use the plural: Hindus pray, Indians pray, etc.

My friends say;
(a)A Hindu prays in the Indian temple.
(b)An Indian prays at the temple.

Must put article, what do you think?

Yes, either is okay in this context, as long as the verb agrees with your choice of noun. A Hindu -> prays; Hindus -> pray.
