    Pancha Bhuta Linga Kshetra Kritis..


    Pancha Bhuta

    Per early thinkers all creation is made up of five elements


    Ether, Air, Fire, Water and Earth.

    Per Taittriya Upanishad these elements came from the Supreme Being.

    Pancha Bhuta Kshetras

    Refers to the five Shiva temples dedicated to Lord Shiva

    Each representing the manifestation of these five prime elements.


    The five elements are believed to be enshrined in the five lingams.
    Lingams symbolize the divinity of Shiva.
    Each of the five lingams representing Shiva in the temple have five distant
    names based on the elements they represent.

    All these temples are located in South India

    Four of these temples in Tamil Nadu and


    One in Andhra Pradesh.

    Muttusvami Dikshitar (1775
    -1835), visited these
    shrines and dedicated
    songs to them.
    These songs are referred
    to as the Pancha Bhuta
    Linga Kshetra Kritis (songs
    on the five elements)
