    Worshiping God purifies the soul of man and takes him closer to God. The southern part of India, well known for its cuisine and culture, is also reputed for its Temples. 1. TIRUMALA VENKATESWARA TEMPLE Resting on the Tirumala hill in the southern part of Andhra Pradesh, the divine temple is the abode of Lord Venkateswara. The tirupati is the wealthiest temple in the world. The outer dome of the main temple is all covered with gold. It has been patronized by many various rulers and kings over the years. People even cross the seven hills on foot out of immense devotion chanting the name of Lord Venkateswara. It takes four to five hours to complete the journey on foot but it is convenient to take a bus. 2. MEENAKSHI TEMPLE Ancient Madurai in Tamil Nadu is home to this magnificent and important temple of South India. The temple premises are huge, covering an area of 15 acres. There is a holy pond in the interior of the temple. It is believed that if the devotees bathe in the waters of this pond of Golden Lotus on a new moon day, the first day of the month, days of eclipse and other auspicious days and worship the Lord, they will be blessed with all their aspirations for success. The temple is very popular for its architecture, sculpture and art. 3. SRI PADMANABHASWAMY TEMPLE The Padmanabhaswamy temple is located in the centre of Thiruvananthapuram, the capital of Kerala. The temple is built in Dravidian style. It is the abode of the deity Padmanabha, who has been resting here and will, for all eternity. It is because a major part of the treasure, which belonged to Padmanabhaswamy, is still buried inside one of the six vaults of the temples. The reason for the vault still remaining closed is that it has a serpent’s image on its door indicating a threat to anyone who tries to enter it. The devotees believe and place their soul in the swamy. 4. SRI RANGANATHASWAMY TEMPLE This temple is the largest functioning Hindu temple in the world. It is dedicated to Lord Vishnu, the savior of everyone, according to Hindu mythology. Covering an area of over 150 acres, the temple is situated in Trichy, Tamil Nadu. The temple is enclosed by seven concentric walls. It contains 21 gopurams (towers), 39 pavilions, fifty shrines and many ponds inside. 5. SRI RAMANATHASWAMY TEMPLE: The temple is dedicated to Lord Siva, the destroyer. It is located in Rameswaram, on Pamban Island in Tamil Nadu. There are two deities of Siva inside the temple, the principal one was built by Goddess Sita and the other is said to have been brought here from Kailash (the abode of Siva, in the Himalayas) by Lord Hanuman. It has high walls enclosing it in all four directions and two magnificent gopurams (towers) in the east and west direction. There is a long corridor running in between these towers and in fact, the corridor is the longest for any Hindu temple in India. 6. CHAMUNDESWARI TEMPLE: As the name suggests, the temple was built for Goddess Chamundeswari or Durga, who is known for her wrath and ferocity. It is located on the Chamundi Hills, about 13 kms from the main city, Mysore. It is one among the 18 Maha Shakti Peethas (divine power resting places). The doors of the temple are made up of silver and gold. 7. THE SRIPURAM GOLDEN TEMPLE This temple is the only one of its kind and is more of a spiritual park than a temple. People who seek peace for a while, come here and meditate. Built across 100 acres of land, the golden temple gives the tourists complete tranquility. And as the name suggests, the central part of the temple is all covered in gold and the intricate work done has significance from the Vedas and surely has no match as of now. The periphery of the temple is star shaped indicating Sri-chakra, a God’s weapon. 8. BRIHADEESWARA TEMPLE This temple is one of the country’s most priced architectural sites and part of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The temple turned 1000 years old in 2010. This was built by the g
