State/UT wise lists

Isn't it better to have only the heading of States/UT only here with links to 'List of Hindu Temples in state xxx' articles. Currently this list is very long and takes time to load.

overview section, including a statement re TTD

It seems to me that the list will be improved by some general introduction.

Based on just one news article, I have tried adding something, the following:

This is a dynamic list. For example, there is an ongoing campaign by Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD), "the world's richest temple trust", aiming to build a replica of the Kodandarama Temple, Tirupati shrine (or the Sri Govindaraja Swamy Temple in Tirupati? or the "iconic Lord Venkateswara Swamy temple at Tirumala"?) in every Indian state and Union Territory that does not yet have one. The trust has developed 58 temples since 1933, mostly in the South Indian states of Andra Pradesh, Telangana, and Tamil Nadu; in 2023 its most recently completed one was opened in Jammu in June 2023; there are 28 states and 8 UTs to go. It also plans to construct "smaller temples in remote and backward villages in south Indian states."^[1]

But it needs correction/improvement, including clarification of which exact temple is being replicated. I have actually visited a venerated Hindu temple in Andra Pradesh, not far from Visakhapatnam, but I am not familiar enough with the list-article topic to get this completely right without help. --Doncram (talk,contribs) 19:51, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

They are almost certainly referring to the Venkateswara Temple, Tirumala. I have revised the lead accordingly. The other two temples mentioned in the article are not Venkateswara temples. Also, Sri Venkateswara Temple, Pittsburgh was modeled after Venkateswara Temple, Tirumala at the behest of the same trust. Ram1751 (talk) 20:17, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
