Every corner of this ‘Vast, Secular, & Culturally & Spiritually Vibrant Country‘, is jam-packed with thousands of ‘Temples of different Hindu Deities‘, apart from the Churches for Christians, Mazjids for the Muslims, Gurudwaras for the Sikhs, Monasteries for the Buddhists, Jain Temples, Fire Temples for the Parsis & so on & so forth. 

Here is a small, & yet never-ending, list of the Hindu Temples of India, collected from the Wikipedia page, with our wholehearted  & deep sense of gratitude to ‘The Great Wikipedia‘.

She is the Mother goddess in Hinduism, and has many attributes and aspects. Each of her aspects is expressed with a different name, giving her over several names in regional Hindu stories of India. Along with Lakshmi and Saraswati, she forms the trinity of Hindu Goddesses.
