Enter the elemental realm of divinity. Earth, water, fire, sky, and air are the five elements that form the basis of life in this universe, so says Hinduism. And there are five temples in South India dedicated to lord Siva which manifest each of these elements. 

Four of these, namely, Ekambareswara Temple, Jambukeshwara Temple, Arunachaleswara Temple, and Thillai Natarajar Temple are in Tamil Nadu. Sri Kalahasthi Temple is in Andhra Pradesh. 

Why not make a trip to these temples on Sivarathri?
