108 Divya Desams

The 108 Divya Desams are the 108 sacred temples of Vishnu, glorified in the Tamil hymns of the 12 Alvars. These temples are spread across India and beyond, with a strong presence in Tamil Nadu, and are considered the holiest pilgrimage sites in Sri Vaishnavism. Each Divya Desam is unique in its history, architecture, and spiritual significance, where the Lord appears in different forms and postures to bless devotees. The collective hymns, known as the Nalayira Divya Prabandham, form the foundation of devotion associated with these temples. Pilgrimage to all 108 Divya Desams is believed to lead devotees toward spiritual fulfillment and liberation (moksha). Among them, 106 are located on Earth, while the remaining two—Paramapadam and Thirupparkadal—exist in the divine realm. This app helps devotees explore all 108 Divya Desams with detailed information, locations, festivals, and connections to the Alvars, making it a complete guide for spiritual journey and temple discovery.
