# 108 Divya desams

Divya desam in general refers to a Vishnu temple where the rituals are based on Vaishnavism. All the Divya desams are sung by Mangalasasanam (praise the Lord Vishnu) by Vaishnavite saints named Aallhvaars. In the universe, there are 108 Divya desams out of which 106 are in the Earth and the other two are outside the earthly realms. These are also known as 'Divine Abodes' where Lord Vishnu is the prime deity in every temple.
'Divya' means 'premium' and 'Desam' refers to 'place'. 105 Divya desams are in India, one in Nepal and the other two outside the earthly realms are Tiruppāṟkaṭal and Paramapadam (SriVaikuntham).
In India, 105 Divya desams are constituted by 82 temples in Tamil Nadu, 13 temples in Kerala, 2 temples in Andhra Pradesh, 4 temples in Uttar Pradesh, 3 temples in Uttarakhand and 1 temple in Gujarat.
