Did You Know ?
Significance of Chidambaram Mandir design, layout & architecture of the Mandir is replete with philosophical meanings.
Let's go thru a small #Thread -
1. The 9 gateways signify the 9 orifices in the human body.
@LostTemple7

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 mandirs).
The Sanctum sanctorum is held by 28 pillars – representing the 28 agamas or set of methodologies for the worship of Bhagwan Shiva.

How our Ancient Indians use to calculate space according to Srimad Bhagawatham. #Thread
Lets start from India: India is a part of South Asia; Asia is one of the continent in the world;
This world is nothing but Earth. The whole Earth is known as Bhooh.

In Bhooh we have seven Dweepams known as Jambu, Plaksha, Shalmali, Kusha, Kraunca, Shaka, Pushkara Dweepams respectively. India is in Jambudweepam.
Above Bhooh there are seven layers/lokas named as Bhuvah, Suvah, Mahah, Janah, Tapah, Satyam
Similarly, Below Earth there are

another seven layers/Lokas called as Atala, Vitala, Sutala, Rasathala, ThalaaThala, Mahathala, Pathala.
seven lokas above & seven Lokas below Earth respectively. So we call (Eer Yezhu Lokam in Tamil) means 7X2=14 Lokas
All these 14 lokas including Earth looks like an egg.

A kutty #Story
Teacher addresses a student & asks: “How many kidneys do we have?"
“Four!", The backbencher student responds.
“Four? Haha,” The teacher was one of those who took pleasure in picking on his students' mistakes and demoralizing them.

“Bring a bundle of grass, because we have a donkey in the room," the teacher orders a front bencher.
“And for me a coffee!”, the backbencher student added.
The teacher was furious & expelled the student from the room.
The student was, by the way, a famous humorist namely

Aparicio Torelly Aporelly (1895-1971), better known as the "Baron de Itararé".
On his way out of the classroom, the student still had the audacity to correct the furious teacher:
"You asked me how many kidneys‘ *we have*. "We have four: two of mine & two of yours. *‘We have’*
