Résumé en anglais

Based on six case studies taken into the regional context of Tamil Nadu (the " Tamil country " in South India), the article demonstrates that Hindu temples take part actively to the development of their settlements in many ways, and that they locally produce some centrality which is able to trigger phenomena of local development. The case of the old temples shows that these places of worship can structure urban morphologies and that economic activities are often set up on temple lands. The study of new temples confirms these observations and sheds light on several strategies of actors associated with local development processes, such as commercial or real estate development around temples, or the purchase of lands and the creation of medical and educational establishments by the trusts managing the places of worship.< Réduire
