108 Divya Kshetra Darshan - Introduction

Pilgrimage is considered very important by the followers of Sanaathana Dharma. And if you are a follower of Vaishnava sect, It is the foremost duty of every Hindu to visit the Divya Kshetras. All these holy temples have some mythological significance attached to them. The temples where the Azhwars have sung the Mangalasaasanam are called Divya desams. There are 108 Divya desams. 105 are located in Bharata Desa and 1 in Nepal. The remaining 2 are Sheerabdhi and Vaikuntam, which are not in this Bhoomi. It is not possible to visit all the 106 Divya Desams in one stretch. Hence these Desams are divided in to various segments.

The best way to visit all these temples in a short time is to go by car or form a group and go by van/bus. We have started this in the year 2011 and keep updating. 
All the photographs in this series of blogs have been taken by me, except a few of the Deities which have been taken from various websites. 
The last update is in 2022 with a total of 42 Divya Desam. 

The first stop will be Srirangam which is very close to Trichi.Starting from Chennai, Trichi is about 325 kms.
