Kozhikode: A new software startup, TempleAddress.com, is set to transform how devotees access information about temples across Kerala.
The platform enables users to explore temple histories, administrative details, rituals, and special offerings, while also allowing them to book poojas and make donations online through a single interface.
Promoted by Kozhikode-based Vaas Systems, the initiative was formally launched at the Kolathoorappan Temple premises near Advaita Ashram. The platform was dedicated to devotees by Swami Chidanandapuri during the ceremony.
Speaking at the event, Swami Chidanandapuri said the website would help devotees across the world easily locate any temple, understand its legacy and traditions, and book rituals or offerings without geographical barriers.
A key objective behind the initiative is the digital preservation of temple histories and traditions for future generations. Many temples face the risk of losing their heritage knowledge over time, which can lead to misinformation. The platform seeks to address this gap by creating an authentic and centralized knowledge base.
TempleAddress.com has been launched as the first phase of a broader vision to build a comprehensive digital encyclopedia of temples, including both well-known and lesser-known sacred sites across Kerala. The founders have outlined a seven-phase development plan targeting completion by 2030, with the long-term goal of becoming a global repository for temple information.
Anand Nambisan, Founder and CEO of TempleAddress.com and owner of Vaas Systems, said that the platform aims to provide every devotee with free access to temple-related information worldwide through a single window.
Nambisan added that the system is designed to support temples and sacred institutions that lack digital infrastructure. Through the platform, such institutions can receive pooja bookings, donations, and prayer requests at no cost. Registered temples will also be provided with free website development services.
For registration and further details, interested parties can contact 7907606844 or 9495041196 or visit the website at TempleAddress.com.
Temple President MK Rajendranath and TempleAddress co-founder K. Swathi were also present at the launch event.
