The build
How we took it apart.
Tamil first, English beside it
The site leads in Tamil — the temple's own name set large in its own script — with English carried alongside, not bolted on. Typography, spacing and reading order were tuned so both audiences feel the page was made for them.
The festival is the heartbeat
The annual festival gets a day-by-day schedule that devotees can plan around, with recent updates and blogs from the temple keeping the homepage alive between festivals rather than frozen in one.
Giving without friction
Ongoing works at the temple are shown as they progress, and 'Support the Tirupani' turns intent into a donation in a few taps — so devotion from anywhere in the world can build something in Omanthai.

The payoff
What changed
The temple now has a home online that reads naturally in Tamil and English, keeps the festival calendar and works in view, and lets devotees anywhere give towards what is being built.
