Chidambaram is a town of India, in the Cuddalore district of Tamil Nadu, 11 km from the coast and 240 km south of Chennai by rail.
The gopurams (pagodas) at Chidambaram are the oldest in the south of India, and portions of them are gems of art. The principal temple is sacred to Shiva, and is said to have been rebuilt or enlarged by a leper emperor, who came south on a pilgrimage and was cured by bathing in the temple tank.
Four most revered Saivaite Saints (Appar, Sundarar, Sambandar and Manikkavachakar) have worshipped at Chidambaram, and the bulk of Manikkavachakars work is in praise of Shiva at Chidambaram.
Chidambaram is one of the Panchabhoota Sthalams - temples built for the 5 elements said to embody Shiva - at Chidambaram (space), Kalahasti (wind), Thiruvanaikkovil (water), Tiruvannamalai (fire) and Kanchipuram (earth).
