Pancha Bhoota Sthalam Refers to Five Temples dedicated to Lord Siva

The Arunachalesvara Temple, dedicated to Shiva, is a significant site in the Hindu tradition, particularly within Saivism, representing the fire element among the Pancha Bhoota Stalas. Located at the base of Arunachala hill in Thiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu, it features the Agni lingam and honors Parvati as Unnamalai Amman. Revered in the 7th-century Tevaram and associated with the 9th-century poet Manikkavasagar's Tiruvempaavai, this temple is a key pilgrimage destination. The Srikalahasti Temple in Andhra Pradesh is also notable, linked to the legend of Kannappa's devotion.
