As the sacred spot where Shiva manifested as Agni-Lingam (pillar of fire), revered as Pancha-bhuta Sthalas, the Arunanchaleshwara temple in Tamil Nadu, where Shiva is worshipped as Annamalaiyar and Parvati as Unnamalai, is a powerful Teertha for Hindu devotees.
This artwork depicts the blazing aura of Annamalaiyar and Unnamalai, two deities clad in lavish clothing, decorations, ritual objects arranged in the foreground, and a magnificent solar halo in the backdrop, in keeping with the Tanjore tradition of displaying Teertha-sthala (pilgrimage places).
This Tanjore is a powerful darshana of the shrine in your home since it depicts the Gopuram of the Arunanchaleshwara Temple and the revered Arunanchal mountain, which is properly translated as "the mountain made red by the rising Sun."
