The land, with the record on it.

Every dot is a record. Every record is citable.

Showing 500 temples and 21 villages with geocoded centroids. Coverage grows as contributors verify locations through the temple location picker (per ADR-0040 §T2) and the OSM village importer.

Bounding box: latitude 6°N–37°N, longitude 67°E–98°E (Bhārata extent). Equirectangular projection. Each dot links to its record’s detail page.

On the map.

The atlas is a soft-launch “where roughly is X” surface, not a survey. Coordinates are at the centroid of the record’s declared place; precision is good enough to locate a temple in its village, not good enough to navigate to its door. The platform stores the high-precision coordinates separately on the record; the public map shows the lower-precision centroid because the durable claim is “this record sits at roughly this spot” — not “the door is exactly here.”
