Yogesh, You clearly have a lot of reading to do. Take a look at the documentation available on the Puppet website: http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/DocumentationStart is a great place to start. I say you have a lot of reading to do because a couple of your questions don't really make sense; you don't use templates *or* classes to define nodes. A node is a node, and it may or may not include classes and/or use templates. I recommend you read through the documentation, then start off managing a single, conceptually-isolated part of your infrastructure; the canonical example is managing SSH.
