Temples of Tamilnadu!



If some of my close friends or relatives, have a chance to see the title " Temples of tamilnadu" honestly they are little confused, because I always talk or believe in evolution and all of life was by chance and our existence was just luck. Merely, I do not have divine plan, then why , when had a chance of searching temples of tamilnadu, I was honestly amazed with categories. So, I like to share.
Nearly 33,000 ancient temples - many at least 600 to 800 years old, scattered all over the land. Studded with complex architecture, variety of sculptures, & rich inscriptions - capture the very essence of the culture & heritage of Tamilnadu, historically more than 2000 years old.Temples of Sangam Age
