Situated at the foot of Tiruvannamalai Hills and spread over 25 acre, Arunachaleswarar Temple is an imposing structure with a marvellous architecture. It boasts four gateway towers known as gopurams, each of which is encompassed with mandapams, shrines and enclosures, decorated
with finely carved sculptures and pillars. The eastern tower with 11 storeys, stands at a height of 66 m and is one of the largest temple towers in India. Also known as the Annamalaiyar Temple, it is dedicated to Lord Shiva and invites devotees in large numbers from all parts
of the country. Built in the traditional Dravidian style of architecture, the temple is believed to be the eighth-largest Hindu temple in the world. The temple complex houses many halls and the most popular one is the thousand-pillared hall, which was constructed during the
Vijayanagar period (1336-1646). The temple is one of the pancha bhoota sthalams, which are dedicated to the manifestation of five natural elements. Legend has it that the lord has apparently manifested himself as an element of fire in this temple.

Brahmagupta was the foremost Indian mathematician of his time. He made advances in astronomy and most importantly in number systems including algorithms for square roots and the solution of quadratic equations.He gave remarkable formulae for the area of a cyclic quadrilateral Brahmagupta - area of quadr...
and the lengths of the diagonals in terms of the sides. The only debatable point here is that he does not state that the formulae are only true for cyclic quadrilaterals so some historians claim it to be an error while others claim that he meant the rules to apply only to cyclic
quadrilaterals.He was an Indian mathematician who worked in the 7th century and left (among many other discoveries) a generalization of Heron's formula. It is interesting to note that Heron's formula is an easy consequence of Brahmagupta. To see that suffice it to let one of the

The word Jyotirlinga originates from the Sanskrit Language, which means Symbol. Further, the Agama text defines the literal meaning by breaking it into three pieces. “Jyoti” means light, “Ling” means to dissolve or destroy and, “Ga” means to emerge or create. The in-depth sense
of jyotirlinga lights on Lord Shiva’s infinite nature, we are a creation of Lord Shiva (Universe), and we all dissolve back into him at the end. Jyotirlinga marks the cosmos of the universe.
There are twelve traditional Jyotirlinga shrines in India:

• Somnath in Saurashtra (Gujarat)
• Mallikarjuna in Srisailam (Andhra Pradesh)
• Mahakaleswar in Ujjain (Madhya Pradesh)
• Omkareshwar in Madhya Pradesh
• Kedarnath in Uttrakhand
• Bhimashankar in Pune, Maharashtra
