🛕 The Temple roof is made of 21600 gold sheets which represent the 21600 breaths taken by a human being every day (15 x 60 x 24 = 21600)
🛕 These 21600 gold sheets are fixed on the “Vimanam” (Roof) using 72000 gold nails which symbolize the total no. of Nadis (Nerves) in the human body.
🛕 This temple is located at the Center Point of the world‘s Magnetic Equator.
🛕 The region was once dense with Thillai trees, hence the name Thillai. These trees are not presently seen in the place.
Chidambaran ragasiyam – the secret.
There is a small entrance near Lord Sabanayaka in the Chit Sabai. There is nothing in a form inside, but a golden Vilva garland hangs without a Murthi. The screen is removed, and Arathi is offered. The secret is that Lord is here as Akasha which has no beginning or an end.
