Did You Know ?
Significance of Chidambaram Temple design, layout & architecture of the temple is replete with philosophical meanings.
Let's go thru a small Thread -
1. The 9 gateways signify the 9 orifices in the human body.
2. The Ponnambalam, the sanctum sanctorum represents the heart which is reached by a flight of 5 stairs called the Panchaatchara padi - pancha meaning 5, achhara – indestructible syllables – "SI VA YA NA MA", from a raised anterior dias - the Kanakasabai.
3. The access to the Sabha is through the sides of the stage (not from the front as in most temples).
The Sanctum sanctorum is held by 28 pillars – representing the 28 agamas or set of methodologies for the worship of Bhagwan Shiva.

Experiences with Sri Maha Periva - The Shiva Temple!
A village called Veniviraapuram near Bellary was populated by people who depended on agriculture for their life. If there were no rains, there was no jeevanam (life).
They came to Periva & supplicated to Him in Kannada. Image
"Is there a Shivan temple in your village?" asked Periva.
The people replied - "There is".
Periva said - "Do abhiShekam (to the Shivalingam) with a 108 pots of water. Enough if you do it uttering the mantra ""Shiva, Shiva"". @RajeAiyer @Aravindh_partha @KanchiMatham Image
Do Shiva Naama japam sitting in the sannidhi, until sUryodayam (sunrise)."
As ordered by Periva, the Shiva Aradhanam was held on the next day.
On the day after, they skies parted & it rained heavily!

*Periva Saranam*
