Divya Darisanam

Unravelling the beauty of Ancient Temples, and dedicated to pure Divinity, I hope that my pages would serve as an alternative to quench the thirst (or form a base) for visiting these temples and other historical places in India. Hoping to bring blissfulness to the mind and the soul to all my readers. You as an important critic, I would really appreciate your valuable comments that will improve the quality of my write-ups on Temples and their Sthala puranams. Thank you for visiting my pages.
