India - Day 1 - Egambanathar Temple


Yo, wats up. After Kanchi Kamakshi, we proceeded to Egambanathar Temple. Legend has it that Parvathi built a Siva Lingam out of soil. That Lingam was kept in that temple. As that Lingam was made out of soil, they could not do abishegam because the Lingam would disintegrate. This lingam had no base. There is also a mango tree at the age of 3500 years. In the pancha pootham ( the five elements ) this temple is the element of earth. It was really great.
