पञ्चभूतस्थलानि

At Ekambareswarar in Kanchipuram, the sanctum houses a 3,500-year-old sacred mango tree with four main branches said to represent the four Rig, Yajur, Sama, and Atharva Vedas, yielding four distinct types of mangoes.

Inside the sanctum sanctorum of Srikalahasteeswara, two oil lamps burn before the Vayu Lingam: while one lamp remains completely still, the second lamp flickers continuously despite the enclosed chamber having no windows or air currents.

The Appu Lingam at Jambukeswarar sits in an underground sanctum where fresh water perpetually springs from beneath the deity; even during severe droughts, priests stand in ankle-deep water to perform the daily puja.

Chidambaram's sanctum has no stone Lingam for the main Akasha darshan; instead, priests draw back a black veil to reveal the 'Chidambara Rahasya'—a garland of golden Bilva leaves suspended in empty space, symbolizing the formless Divine.
