Temple Tales

Amma’s Tales presents its new series on temples of India- Temple Tales. Once a week, stories and legends behind some famous, some not so famous, temples will be retold to the best of my ability. As usual, we strive to highlight the beauty of the tales themselves and how they have given rise to the modern aspects of tradition as we know it.  So here’s happy reading to all you folks who’d like to know just a little bit more about that friendly neighbourhood temple deity!!!
