Temple 360: Now India's famous pilgrimages will reach devotees through one-of-a-kind online darshan

Breaking the barriers, now prominent pilgrimage sites will reach the devotees who can get a glimpse of rituals, aartis, and whatnot at any time and from anywhere!

 

Being a one-of-a-kind darshan, the government inaugurated the ‘Temple 360’ portal on the occasion of Nav Varsha. A digital platform that will enable devotees to visit or do online darshan of 12 Jyotirlinga and Char Dham from any location. The portal will comprise live camera feeds of temples across India. It has been launched under the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav celebrations.

 

It will enable devotees to digitally witness the magnificence of some of the most pious Hindu pilgrimages. It will allow devotees to perform e-aarti and several other services including E-Shringar and e-Donation. The website will enable viewers to experience immersive spiritual journeys and temple darshans through live camera feeds 24x7 across temples of India.

 

The Ministry is also planning to add more features to the portal including ‘e-services’ through which one will be able to pay for services.

 

According to Union Minister Meenakshi Lekhi, "temple 360 is that digital platform where anyone can visit or do darshan of 12 Jyotirlinga and Char Dham from any location."

 

 

 

The devotees will be able to see and participate in the online darshan or e-Darshan through the live cameras of the Temple 360 portal. They will also be able to do e-Aarti and get e-Prashad, keeping people connected.

 

 

 

Temple 360 will presently offer live streaming of rituals from four famous temples —

 

1. Somnath in Gujarat

 

2. Kashi Vishwanath in UP

 

3. Trimbakeshwar in Maharashtra

 

4. Ghrishneshwar in Maharashtra

 

The Ministry will soon include live streaming of rituals from 12 Jyotirlinga and four Dhams — Badrinath (Uttarakhand), Dwarka (Gujarat), Puri (Odisha) and Rameshwaram (TN).
