About us

The MillionGods Project is an effort to list and document Tamilnadu Temples including all the districts of Tamilnadu. To make this possible we are constantly in search of information relating to Tamilnadu Temples from every nook and corner of the state. We request the support of our audience in terms of information that can help us in making this mammoth task possible. Our approach is focused on a worldwide audience and we try our best to provide the information in a format that is easy to read and relate to with uniformity from page to page. The categories are standardized into (1) Paadal Petra Sthalams (temples that have been praised by the three great saints of Saivism – Thirugnanasambandar, Thirunavukkarasar, and Sundarar), (2) 108 Divya Desam Temples (temples that have been praised by the 12 Azhwars of Vaishnavism), (3) Saivite (Shiva temples which are older than about 300-500 years), (4) Vaishnavite (Vishnu temples which are older than about 300-500 years), (5) Others (Vinayaka, Murugan, Amman and other shrines which are old).

Documenting Tamilnadu Temples is an ongoing effort and we are constantly traveling and updating this website. Our well-wishers who come across additional information and errors on our website are requested to help us by informing us. We also welcome rare, old, and vintage pictures of temples, provided copyrights and such statutory requirements are in order and complied with.

We welcome articles, travelogues, and experiences from our audiences in the form of links to their specific blogs or exclusive essays written for us which will appear on the Articles page. While we cannot pay for such contributions we will definitely provide due credit to the contributors.

Several sources have been useful in getting information regarding Tamilnadu Temples to us including books, periodicals, sthala puranas, websites, and word of mouth information from temple priests. We have tried our best to acknowledge all of them in the References section.

Tamilnadu Temples have their own set of words, terms, and meanings which have been addressed in the Glossary section. This section is also constantly updated and you can feel free to contribute to this important dictionary of temples.

We request all like-minded people to support us with information and feedback on Tamilnadu Temples to take this noble cause to the next level in terms of information dissemination.
