The Temple Girl 

I’m Namratha Mohan, The Temple Girl and author of VISHNU: The Eternal God, my first book, published by Penguin India. You can pre-order it on Amazon through the first link below.

I travel across Bharat to tell the stories of India’s temples in English. Why does a temple follow a ritual found nowhere else? What brings devotees there with a particular prayer? And who are the families who wake the deity each morning, as their parents and grandparents did before them?

These are the questions I take with me on every visit. Here, you’ll find the stories behind the rituals, meet the people who keep them alive and learn what to look for when you visit a temple yourself.
