Sacred temples across Tamil Nadu

Tamil Nadu is home to thousands of Hindu temples, from ancient shrines to vast temple cities. The state’s Dravidian temple architecture—with towering gopurams, stone carvings, and sacred tanks—has made it a major pilgrimage and heritage destination. Many of Hinduism’s most revered sites, including Divya Desams, Navagraha temples, and the Panchabhoothasthalam (elemental shrines), are in Tamil Nadu.
