About Stones That Speak

Nine planets. Nine temples. A thousand years of pilgrims.

This guide is the practical companion to nine episodes already live on the channel — one for each planet, one for each temple, filmed across the Kaveri delta.

Stones That Speak walks inside temples like these and explains what you're looking at — the architecture, the mythology, the stories carved into the stone. This trip is one of several built the same way.

Next: the Pancha Bhoota Sthalams — five temples, one for each element — and the Chola Imperial Triad, three of the great Chola-built temples. Both scripts are written; filming comes next.
