What This Atlas Holds
Three tiers, and the difference between them matters. We would rather show you the gap than paper over it.
152
Documented
Researched records with a sourced description, verified coordinates, credited photography, festivals and the best months to visit. Each has its own page.
—
Protected monuments mapped
From the Archaeological Survey of India's own register.
250,758
Indexed
Every temple, shrine and pagoda we can locate across Asia. A name and a position — no description, no photograph, nothing verified. This is the map's outer edge, not its content.
Where the index reaches
The Work
The distance between 152 and 250,758 is the whole project. Every month we take temples out of the index and give them a record: coordinates checked against independent sources, a photographer credited, a description written from something we have actually read. It is slow because verifying is slow — and a temple documented wrongly is worse than one left in the index.
