alt Hacker NewsI have been working on and off on https://www.whichtemple.in
- it is a collection of ~ 2700 temples across India, with images sourced from wikipedia
- it shows you a random temple each time you visit
- it has a map view of temples across India
So this is just the tip of the iceberg. I am trying to build a catalogue of all temples, starting with India, and expanding on to the rest of the world. The focus is on temples originating from Indic religions like Hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism.
I have personally discovered many cool temples that I have never heard of, but I am struggling on how to gamify this. Feedback welcome!

A fun game would be to quickly guess the religion of a temple? Could familiarize people with the common iconography of the various dharmic religions.
Would love to filter this by states so that I can go to the interesting temples in my state first before trying out other places. Would make it more functional.
