शिवालयप्रभव

The one who is the source and lord of every Shiva temple

सभी शिवालयों (शिव मंदिरों) के मूल और स्वामी

India में estimated 3 lakh+ Shiva temples हैं — गाँव-गाँव, शहर-शहर। Chidambaram, Brihadishvara, Kedarnath, Kashi Vishwanath, Somnath, Mahakaleshwar — iconic शिवालय। Agama Shastra के अनुसार temple construction rules strictly follow होती हैं — orientation, proportions, prana pratishtha। New temples abroad — BAPS, Akshardham-style — diaspora communities building shivalays in every continent। शिव हर शिवालय के source हैं — जैसे sun हर sunbeam का source — temple building is connecting to Shivalayaprabhava।
