Village Gods of Tamil Nadu

Villagegods.blogspot is an worthwhile effort of P.R. Ramachander, a priest who has posted stories of many small village Hindu temples of the state of Tamil Nadu, India. His research on the short stories of many obscure and small temples teaches much about the cultural attitudes of the Tamil folk when it comes to creating temples and deities. In these stories which are about the lore of the origins of such temples it can be seen how the deities 'talk' to their devotees mainly through dreams giving them instructions and directions to clear problems or calamities a village was facing. The resource has over 71 posts and is a useful site to go through if anyone needs to research Tamil or South Indian culture. Though the sentences occasionally require intuition to make out, it is understandable and the effort of the blogger should be commended.
