My trip to Tiruvannamalai

I an not such a great fan of long trips and very long trips are extremely boring,with very less fun.Some trips like one day trips are not only exciting, but you can find out plenty of things that you might have never seen or do things that you have never done in your life ,in example walking for nearly 14.5 kilometers with a leg that has a thorn stuck in it.I, my friends had walked for more than fourteen kilometers on a blistering tar road in a place called Tiruvannamalai  in Tamilnadu.

If it was anything that excited me, it was a lecture from my father while walking around Arunachalam , in Tiruvannamalai. There are five क्षेत्राः in South India namely अग्नि लिङ्ग , वायु  लिङ्ग ,
जल लिङ्ग , आकाश  लिङ्ग  and पृथ्वी  लिङ्ग . These places show the five Panchabhootas which are Agni, Jala, Akasa, Prthvi and Vaayu. Each of the lingas have a particular panchabhoothish power. These lingas are nestled in five places,namely:-

  1. Jala lingam- Jambukeshwar
  2. Agni lingam-Tiruvannamalai
  3. Akasha lingam-Chidambaram
  4. Vayu lingam- Sri Kalahasti
  5. Prthvi linga-Kanchipuram
