About Shivanubhava
A bridge between ancient wisdom and the modern soul — making temple darshan, sacred offerings, and divine blessings accessible to devotees everywhere.
Who We Are
Shivanubhava was founded by a group of devotees, technologists, and cultural enthusiasts who share a common calling — to make India's 10,000-year-old temple heritage accessible to every seeker, anywhere in the world.
We grew up visiting temples with our families, standing in long queues for darshan, carrying home prasadam wrapped in banana leaves. Those experiences shaped who we are. But we also saw that millions of devotees — separated by distance, age, or circumstance — couldn't access these sacred spaces.
That's why we built Shivanubhava: a platform that honours tradition while removing barriers. We work hand-in-hand with temple trusts and priests to ensure that every puja, every offering, every grain of prasadam carries the same sanctity as if you were there in person.

Our Vision
We envision a future where India's sacred temples are not hidden behind distance or circumstance — where a grandmother in New York can receive prasadam from her family temple in Kumbakonam, where a young professional in London can book an archana on a festival morning, where every devotee feels connected to the divine regardless of where life has taken them.
We see Shivanubhava becoming the most trusted bridge between the world's oldest living civilisation and its global diaspora — preserving ancient wisdom while making it effortlessly accessible through modern technology.
Our Mission
Our mission is threefold. First, to serve devotees by making darshan, pujas, and prasadam delivery seamless — removing the friction of distance, language, and logistics from the spiritual experience.
Second, to empower temples — especially smaller, lesser-known ones — with the digital tools and visibility to sustain themselves, reach wider audiences, and fund their preservation.
Third, to document and preserve India's temple heritage — its architecture, history, rituals, and stories — creating a living archive that future generations can learn from and be inspired by.
India is home to over 100,000 temples — among the greatest architectural, scientific, and spiritual achievements of human civilisation. Yet most remain undocumented, underfunded, and inaccessible to the global community.
Temples are fading from memory
Thousands of ancient temples across India are crumbling — not from neglect, but from obscurity. Without visibility and patronage, their rituals, art, and architecture risk being lost forever. We exist to change that.
Devotees are separated from their roots
Millions of Indians live far from their family temples. Life, distance, and time create a gap between devotees and the sacred spaces that shaped them. We bridge that gap with technology and trust.
Temple tourism lacks a trusted platform
Planning a pilgrimage or booking a puja shouldn't require phone calls, middlemen, or uncertainty. We bring transparency, reliability, and ease to the entire spiritual journey — from discovery to prasadam delivery.
Heritage deserves a digital home
The stories behind these temples — who built them, why, and what they encode — are as extraordinary as the structures themselves. We're building the world's most comprehensive temple knowledge base.
