Getting addicted to Drupal made the beginning. Having been a vivid admirer of Indian Temples, have decided to harness the potential of Drupal to present Indian Temples in a simple yet very informative and interactive way at www.templesofindia.net.
With Drupal 6 at the core and few contributed modules like cck, gmap etc., myself a medical doctor, alone could design and tune Drupal to produce www.templesofindia.net
TemplesOfIndia.net is the first user updatable portal having a huge compilation of Indian Temple information by States, Districts, Regions, Rivers and Gods with detailed maps.
Although the idea of developing an user updatable interactive website on Indian Temples dates back to last decade, I never had the courage to start the same untill a few months ago. The resources at my disposal were just not sufficient to proceed. I needed support; that support came from my beloved friend in graduation Dr. Vamsi Krishna Lavu. This busy friend of mine spends his time looking after his establishments in Eastern Europe and India. But, he was always there reminding me the urgency to complete this divine work. Not just the encouragenet, he infact financed all the initial costs to host this information. To sum up, without Vamsi's help this idea would have died like many ideas which can not proceed beyond domain registration.
