Book excerpt: Have you, as a casual or regular tourist, returning from a strenuous entourage ever faced a zesty situation of having missed to see some characteristically important features at one or more places? No need to worry. This book saves you from such piquant situations. The author, who has travelled extensively in his religious tours in south India who got enthused and guided by age old literary inputs, visited some of the “not so widely” known temples located in the state of Tamil Nadu and catalogued the generalities and specialties of those temples. This book is the result of his lifelong mission in this pursuit, his strong acumen to find something unique, special or rare in those temples and his desire to contribute to the society. It will be a boon to the needy persons, religious travellers and students of history, heritage and archaeology.
