Ancient Shiva Temples & The 79° Longitude

Ancient Shiva Temples & the 79° longitude –

Can you guess what’s common between these prominent temples:

1. Kedarnath,
2. Kalahashti,
3. Ekambaranatha- Kanchi,
4. Thiruvanamalai,
5. Thiruvanaikaval,
6. Chidambaram Nataraja,
7. Rameshwaram,
8. Kaleshwaram.

If your answer is, “All are Shiva temples”, you are partially correct. What makes these special is the Longitude at which these temples are located.

“They all are located on 79° longitudes.”

What is surprising is how the architects of these temples, which are located hundreds of kilometers away from each other, came up with these precise locations without GPS.

1. Kedarnath 79.0669°
2. Kalahashti 79.7037°
3. Ekambaranatha- Kanchi 79.7036°
4. Thiruvanamalai 79.0747°
5. Thiruvanaikaval 78.7108
6. Chidambaram Nataraja 79.6954°
7. Rameshwaram 79.3129°
8. Kaleshwaram 79.9067°

See the map …
All the temples are in a straight line. from “Kedarnath to Rameswaram.”

These temples were built, 4000 years ago.
So, how were these temples so accurately established? God Only Knows.
There is a distance of 2383 km between Kedarnath and Rameswaram.

All these temples represent the expression of 5 elements, the Panch Tatva (FIVE Elements), i.e., Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Space.

• The Shimmer lamp in Sri Kalahasti is the representation of AIR Linga.
• The Water Spring in the inner plateau of Thiruvanikka shows WATER Linga.
• The Huge Lamp on Annamalai hill shows that Represent FIRE Linga.
• The Swayambhu Linga of the Sands at Kanchipuram shows EARTH Linga.
• The Incorporeal (NIRAKAR) state of Chidambaram is representing the Heavens(AKASH) element of God.

We should be proud of our Ancient Knowledge and Technology. It is believed that it is not the only 5 temples but many lie in this line called the “SHIVA-SHAKTI AKSH REKHA.”

Amazingly, MAHAKAL has a relationship with all the Jyotirlingam across the Country.
