Temple worship is an important feature of the Hindu way of life all over India. This tradition has been preserved in all its richness, variety and glory in South India more than in other parts. The rulers of the Southern kingdoms - the Triumvirate of Chera, Chola, Pandya dynasties, the Pallavas, the Chalukyas, the rulers of Vijaynagar and even the later day rulers of the former Travancore / Cochin, Mysore and other states were great patrons of religion, temple art and architecture. The fact that the Southern states were relatively free from the onslaughts of foreign invasions also helped. Hence, temple worship has grown as an integral part of everyone’s life in South India.
People from Southern states have carried with them the tradition of temple building wherever they have gone in search of livelihood. It is well known that the Tamils who had migrated to the countries of the Far East and South Africa have built temples there and kept alive their religion, worship, art and culture. Even in the UK, USA, Canada and Australia, the migrants from South India have established large number of temples to various Deities. Likewise, the Tamilians and Keralites who migrated to cities like Mumbai, Delhi and Kolkatta have built temples in accordance with the South Indian tradition.
