INTRODUCTION |

Keeping
in view of the multifarious benefits of the place of worship
conferring on humanity, I desired to lift the curtain on the glory
of the ancient temples in my own humble
way, after retirement, as I had the opportunity of visiting hundreds
of the most ancient, well-built, largely
visited, widely popular, piously consecrated shrines strewn over
entire Bharat, not by compulsion but by
option. Although I did write and publish
more than ten books on temples alone under two series - The Abodes
Of Gods Series in seven volumes, and three in The Single Temple
Series with the timely Financial assistance of the T.T.D.,
Tirupathi, which won the appreciation of the highly educated,
theists, specialists, tourists, research scholars etc. both in India
and abroad, my hunger has not been quenched, nor filled the retired
void fully. So, when I embarked rather another series - captioned,
"The Shrines Superb' in five volumes, I was solicited by a few
to devote one book for the Saiva Kshetras. Moreover, my visits to
hundred and longing to bring out the multi-dimensional splendour of
SIVA convinced me that, the new proposal would suit my writing
project and be received well by the mast.
