Mandirs

The Mandirs collection is a growing reference library of temples and sacred places visited or planned for visits. Each entry brings together location, documented history, religious significance, architecture, rituals, associated traditions, photographs and our own visit notes. These collections bring together background information and source references with our own visit records, photographs and observations. A destination may appear here before a planned visit; its status will be updated only after the visit has taken place.
