For those who carry the tradition across oceans.
Mytheertha is a place to find the temple that holds your family's lineage, learn the rituals you grew up watching, and have ceremonies performed in your name at the shrines that matter to you.

Temples and deities
The 108 Divya Desams, the Pancha Bhoota sthalas, the temples that hold your family's tradition. Each page carries the sthala-purana, the deities present, the rituals that belong there, and the practical detail of how to visit.
Acharya
A patient, knowledgeable voice for the questions that come with life. Which deity is invoked when a child is named. Why your grandmother insisted on a particular temple before a wedding. The meaning of the festival on the calendar this week.
Sevaka
Pilgrimage planning, darshan coordination, and remote rituals performed in your name. Where you cannot travel, the ritual still happens. Video, prasad, and the priest's blessing reach you wherever you are.
Mytheertha
The temple, as it is
A ritual at the temple, in your name
For the diaspora family that cannot be at Rameshwaram for a parent's pinda daan, or at Tirupati on a child's first birthday, Sevaka arranges the ritual at the temple, on the date you choose, with the priest who serves there. You receive video of the ritual, the prasad shipped to your home, and the priest's archana spoken in your gotra and nakshatra.
Our commitment
Sourced with care
Every temple page on Mytheertha begins with a recognised authority on that temple. Content is reviewed by a scholar on retainer before it is published. Where traditions disagree, Mytheertha shows the disagreement rather than choosing a side. Where we are wrong, please write to us so we can correct it.
