The analysis of the social and spatial integration of Murukan and his temples, on the global scale of Tamil Nadu, in landscape, and on local scale is of a great interest for geographical and religious knowledge of Tamil territory. We wish to define the main epistemological and methodological ways that are necessary to apprehend the implications of a Hindu god like Murukan in geography.
