Hindu Temples of India - A Complete Pilgrimage Directory

India is a land of temples, and this directory is our attempt to map that devotion in one place. From the wind-swept shore of Somnath to the Himalayan heights of Kedarnath, from the Shakti Peethas of Bengal and Assam to the towering gopurams of the Tamil south, each temple carries a story worth telling - of a deity, a legend, a dynasty of builders and generations of pilgrims.

Browse the temples below to open detailed, easy-to-read guides. Every guide covers the temple's history and mythology, its presiding deity and architecture, darshan timings, key festivals, travel directions and the best time to visit. The list is paginated in rows - use the page numbers under the grid to reach the next set of temples.

How many temples does the Bhaktiras temple directory cover?

The directory brings together major and lesser-known Hindu temples from every corner of India - the 12 Jyotirlingas, the Shakti Peethas, the Char Dham, the Vishnu Divya Desams, the Ashtavinayak Ganesha shrines and hundreds of regional temples. New guides are added regularly, so use the numbered pages below to browse the full collection.

What does each temple guide include?

Every guide is written for pilgrims and travellers alike. You will find the temple history and legend, the presiding deity, architecture, darshan timings, festivals, how to reach the temple, the best time to visit and a set of frequently asked questions - all on one clean, mobile-friendly page.

The collection spans Shaiva shrines (Jyotirlingas and Nath temples), Shakta shrines (Shakti Peethas and Devi temples), Vaishnava temples (Divya Desams, Krishna and Rama temples), Ganesha, Hanuman, Murugan, Surya and Ayyappa shrines, along with heritage and UNESCO-listed temples such as those at Khajuraho, Hampi and the Hoysala sites.

Where can I read about the 12 Jyotirlingas?

The twelve Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva have their own dedicated guide with an interactive map and recommended yatra routes. Visit the 12 Jyotirlingas complete guide to explore all twelve shrines and open each temple page in turn.

How is the temple list organised and paginated?

Temples are listed in alphabetical rows, 15 to a page. Use the numbered pagination at the bottom of the grid to move to the next set of temples. Each page has its own web address (for example /temple/page/2/), so search engines can crawl and index every temple in the directory.

Can I find temples by deity or by state?

Yes. Each temple card shows its presiding deity and state, and each full guide is tagged so related shrines are cross-linked. You can also use the site search to look for a specific temple, deity, town or festival by name.
