Shiva Temples of Tamilnadu

Thevaara Paadal Petra Shivasthalangal

Shivatemples.com has completed 20 years. Thank you for your continued support.

Late Shri. Narayanasamy, the developer of this website, dedicated his retirement-years visiting all 266 Padal Petra shivasthalams in TamilNadu, meticulously gathering accurate information about each temple. Despite being over 60 years old, he taught himself coding and personally wrote the code for this website.

His efforts not only provided valuable information but also helped raise donations for the renovation of certain neglected temples.

Additionally, his articles on "Parigaara Shalangal" were published in Tamil Daily Dinamani's e-paper, which were later published as books in two volumes by Pinnacle Publishers when he was in his 70s.

After almost two decades of actively visiting temples and documenting information, Shri. Narayanasamy peacefully attained Shivaloga Praapthi at home, just three days after returning from his Kasi Yatra on 21 August 2023.

In his memory, his children now maintain this website.
