CHIDAMBARAM

UNIQUENESS

Say Chidambaram and look! There emerges then on the mental screen the rhythmic foot work and graceful movements of that cosmic dancer - Nataraja, lost in the demonstration of Bhujanga Trasa to the accompaniment of orchestral music to serving a royal banquet to the ears and eyes of the viewers, from his favorite seat of Chitsabha. Holy is the sight! Holier is the feat!! Holiest is that seat!!! And the most holiest is that expert!!!! This Chidambaram thus emerged occupies the most conspicuous place in legends, as the seat of cosmic dance from time immemorial. Besides, this divya kshetra enshrines the much-venerated Akasalinga, one of the five exalted lingas and is worshipped with utmost reverence over ages.
