The moment you enter the sanctum sanctorum, you will understand why it is called Agni Linga.
Tamil Nadu generally does not experience extreme cold. Yet, when half the world is shivering in the cold at the end of December, stepping into the Garbhagriha of this temple will make you feel as if the temperature is nearly 35–40°C. You will literally start sweating profusely!
I have always been someone who feels cold easily. I simply cannot tolerate air conditioning. That is why, even after completing the darshan of 11 Jyotirlingas, I think a hundred times before planning my journey to Kedarnath, the 12th Jyotirlinga, which is still a dream for me.
That is why, during my last pilgrimage, I chose to visit the Pancha Bhoota Sthalams and have the darshan of the Pancha Madhava.
Today, I am sharing with you this powerful Agni Linga, one of the five Pancha Bhoota Sthalams, representing the element of Fire.
Located in Thiruvannamalai, Tamilnadu.
