Being a Hindu…
Been to all the cosmic dance halls of Shiva…Pancha Sabha Temples: Chidambaram (gold), Madurai  (silver), Tirunelveli (copper), Tiruvalankadu (ruby) and Kutralam  (lotus) are revered as the five Cosmic Dance halls of Shiva. – Almost…The Ruby one pending 😦

Well I guess if I list the temples visited or to be visited…it will be an entire post 🙂 I love these temples. The architecture, the history, the significance!!  Guess I am not that much of an atheist after all 😉

I also suppose that this list is pretty volatile, one can add, modify or delete.

I am not tagging anyone on this. I just leave it open to anyone and everyone who wants to take this one up 😀 if they have not already done it.
