Tirtha Atlas Maps 30 Centuries of Sacred Geography
An interactive atlas of 3,031 temples and sacred sites across 15 countries and four Indic traditions.
Field notes
The atlas organizes its collection through several overlapping indexes rather than a single chronological list. Visitors can filter by country, tradition, or dynasty, then move between the map, gazetteer, pilgrimage circuits, deity index, and patron index. Its stated coverage is unusually broad: 3,031 sites in 15 countries spanning 30 centuries, with Buddhist, Hindu, Jain, and Sikh material represented. The homepage also includes a methods section describing boundaries and licences.
