About Us

Before proceeding, it's important to recognize the spiritual importance of the project:

  • Arunachaleswara (Lord Shiva): Arunachaleswara is the form of Lord Shiva worshiped at the Arunachaleswarar Temple in Arunachalam. The Arunachala Hill is considered a sacred manifestation of Shiva himself. This makes the location particularly special for any divine activity, as it's believed that Lord Shiva is present in the very hill and the temple.
  • Amma (Goddess Parvati): Goddess Parvathi represents the divine feminine energy and is worshiped alongside Lord Shiva in temples. Her presence in the shrine along with Arunachaleswara will symbolize the harmonious balance of the divine masculine and feminine energies, which is central to Hindu cosmology.
  • Nama Koti Stupa: The "Nama Koti" typically refers to chanting or repeating the divine name of the Lord a huge, often symbolic number times.
  • • Erecting a Nama Koti Stupa is a highly auspicious act meant to invite spiritual blessings and invoke the divine presence in the area. The stupa could become a focal point for meditation, chanting, and prayer. The 35-feet Arunachaleswara Nama Koti Stupa will be a grand structure. Here are some key considerations for the stupa:
  • Design and Architecture: The ensured design of the stupa is in line with traditional architecture principles, which govern the alignment and construction of sacred spaces. The stupa can represent Lord Shiva's symbolism
  • Materials and Craftsmanship: The stupa should be constructed using durable materials that also reflect the sanctity of the site.
  • Positioning and Alignment: The stupa is positioning in the spiritually auspicious location within the premises that is Kubera Aiswarya Nagar, Near Kubera Lingam of Arunachalam, enhancing the divine energy of the place.

The temple is a fine example of South Indian (Dravidian) architecture and sculpture. According to the inscriptions written in this temple, this temple was built during the period of the early Chola kings (9th century AD), expanded during the period of the later Cholas, Hoysala (Bhosala) kings, and Vijayanagarar Nayakar kings, and The temple was built with a row of stone pillars and sub shrines of many deities including Amman shrine, 9 towers, 5 praharas, many mandapas, and sanctum sanctorums with grand our structures.
