Due to the vast expanse of the State of Tamilnadu, we have divided the temples into North Tamilnadu Temples, South Tamilnadu temples and so on. The temples of South Tamilnadu, like their northern counterparts, are treasures of architectural and sculptural beauty and religious sanctity. These temples are not only of interest to the devotees, but also to the researchers who specialize in the study of the social and political culture of the people at a particular period of time.

Some of the famous South Tamilnadu temples include the likes of Nataraja Temple of Chidambaram, Airavateshvara Temple in Darasuram, the Temples in Rameswaram, Meenakshi Temple in Madurai, the Muruga Temples in Tiruchendur and so on.
