Unable to conceive, visualize the enormity of God (Brahman) in its Nirakaar form (having no form)… in order to pray, worship God in Sakaar form (having a form) Hindus created different forms and sizes of idols of various gods and goddesses that we see in temples all over India.
Idols were only a medium to communicate with god. Those who could not afford even a temple in their village prayed to a banyan tree… even rivers and mountains! As the means available accordingly the manifestation!
