This idol is now displayed in the state museum at Chennai. A huge slab installed inside the courtyard of the temple states the story of this temple and the conquest of Utkala.
The carvings are especially spectacular with the Yalis (the mythical lion) on the pillars...
...and the entrances to the temple hall flanged with impressive carvings of elephant balustrades. Many small shrines and pillared halls adorn the campus. The main tower at the east is an impressive sight with numerous carvings on it (now the tower is under restoration work).

Shiva came as a Siddhar (Ascetic) who appeared simultaneously in a number of places.He was changing older people to look younger; he turned iron into gold & cured much illness.He became a well talked miracle performer.

News about him spread all over and reached the king.
The king was eager to see this Siddhar and sent his guard to bring the ascetic before him. But the Siddhar refused to follow the guards, instead sends news that whoever wants to see him must come to him since there is nothing for him to gain from the King.

🌺Importance of the sleeping direction in Hindu Dharma: The Scientific perspective🌺

According to Hindu dharma, our sleeping position and direction define the state of sleep. It has expanded the spiritual science behind the direction of sleep and its effects.
Human beings reflect the planet earth in having a North Pole and a South Pole. The alignment of our body while sleeping matters bcoz the flow of energy through the Earth affects our own magnetic field.
Bcoz of the planet’s magnetic field,sleeping in certain directions causes unnecessary pressure on the brain,leading to disturbed sleep & health issues.

One of the vast temples of India (spread over 23 acres), this Ekambareswarar Temple’s ‘Raja Gopuram’ is also one of the tallest in south India and was built by the Vijayanagar Emperor Krishna Deva Raya.
It is also amongst the five major Shiva temples of ‘Pancha Bootha Sthalam’ (each representing a natural element) representing the element Earth.

This temple is a ‘Paadal Petra Sthalam’ and revered in ‘Thevaram’, a 7th century Tamil Saiva canonical work.
As per legend, Goddess Parvati(Elavarkuzhali) had built a lingam out of sand, started her penance under a mango tree. The Vegavati river(which was nearby) threatened to overflow and engulf the lingam.

🌺The story of a King and how he transformed to be a Brahmarishi.🌺

RISHI VISHVAMITRA was not a Brahmana by birth but a valiant warrior. He was a Kshatriya King named Kaushika, as he was a descendant of the Sage Kusha and son of King Gaadhi.
Vishvamitra competently ruled the kingdom for many years before he finally gave up everything and went on to become a saint.
Maharishi Vishvamitra is considered to be one of the most revered rishis of ancient India.
As per the holy Puranas, there have been only 24 Rishis who have understood the Gayatri Mantra. It is believed that Sage Vishvamitra is supposed to be the first and Yajnavalkya the last. He is credited as the author of the majority portion of the Mandala 3 of the Rig-Veda.
