• The temple is among the largest in India and is dedicated to Lord Shiva. Visitors can take their time to explore the temple grounds, which feature intricately carved pillars and various shrines. The town surrounding the temple contains eight lingams, collectively known as Ashtalingam, situated in different locations. These lingams are called Indralingam, Agnilingam, Yamalingam, Niruthilingam, Varunalingam, Vayulingam, Kuberlingam, and Esanyalingam. Each lingam represents a cardinal direction of the Earth and is believed to bless devotees who participate in Girivalam or Giriparikrama, a circumambulation of the Arunachal mountain practiced by many worshippers. • This significant hill is found in the temple town of Tiruvanamalai, and it is considered one of the oldest mountains globally by geologists. At the base of the hill lies the Annamalaiyar Temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva. The hill is also referred to by several names, including Annamalai, Arunagiri, Arunachalam, Arunai, Sonagiri, and Sonachalam. • En route is the Ramana Maharshi Ashram, also referred to as Sri Ramanasramam, which serves as a spiritual center at the foot of Arunachala Hill in Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu, India. It is named in honor of Sri Ramana Maharshi, an esteemed Indian sage and spiritual teacher who spent the majority of his life there. He is celebrated for his teachings on self-inquiry and his deep experiences of self-realization. • The route also passes by the Virupaksha Cave.
