Alappuzha, Kerala
Walking the sacred ground of Alappuzha's temples
This is a home for the temples of Alappuzha — their history, their rituals, and the quiet rhythm of daily pooja. We built it so that devotees near and far can learn a temple's story before they ever set foot on its threshold.
Our aim
Alappuzha's temples carry centuries of history, but much of that story lives only in memory and word of mouth. Our aim is simple: to introduce the temples of Alappuzha to every visitor — their origins, the deities they honour, the festivals that fill their courtyards, and the daily poojas that keep them alive.

Hindu's holy books
Hinduism holds no single holy book — its wisdom is carried across many scriptures, broadly grouped as Shruti and Smriti. Read short, clear introductions to each on our holy books page.
