I found many temples and Lingas hidden in many houses surrounding the Viswanath temple, now converted into living quaters. It must have been marvelous in olden times when the Rudra namakam/chamakam would be heard from different temples/houses all at the same time in unison. Such chantings would certainly take a pilgrim into ecstasy. Such designs were seen in South Indian Shiva temples where the main temple in the centre is surrounded by many shiva lingas around and if Abhisheka is performed to all these at the sametime, the temple would have reverberated with the chants.<br /><br />May be someday, we have to arrange for one such puja. <br />Thanks and Regards<br />Dr. Srinivas Vishnubhatla<br />Hyderabad, AP.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5752093215482978353.post-26586505965717939732015-04-03T20:06:50.507+05:302015-04-03T20:06:50.507+05:30You are so welcome!

It great that Kashi welcomes all. :) I'm sure this post will be a very informative one for people wanting to visit the place. Like Niranjan says, it is very comprehensive. <br /><br />Enlightening piece, Kusum. It was so nice to know the background of the Kashi we've all heard about. King Divodasa's story reminds me of Mahabhali's and his very-perfect rule that made the gods themselves, jealous. <br /><br />Thank you for this this story and the clear writing. :)<br />D.Nambiarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14567504529129900396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5752093215482978353.post-75728224921338129522015-04-03T13:13:27.660+05:302015-04-03T13:13:27.660+05:30That is a comprehensive post on the temples of Kas...That is a comprehensive post on the temples of Kashi and its history.
