How does symbolism work in the quote “Is it a house or home? A temple to the New India, or a warehouse for its ghosts?”

Atilla symbolises the holy and sacred temple and represents New India. It shows how the rich worship money. The “warehouse for its ghosts” represents the Old India and the lower class, the poorer population.
