Temples of Tamil Nadu

In collaboration with Isha Foundation (@isha.foundation), this effort is part of a larger movement for the revival of temples in Tamil Nadu. The initiative supports the cause of freeing temples and preserve their sacred spaces with greater care and devotion.

Abathsagyayeswarar Temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva and is located at Thukkachi, Kumbakonam. It is said to be the first of the three Sarabeswarar temples in Kumbakonam and is famous for the Durga Shrine in the complex which faces South, unlike other Shiva temples.
