Chidambaram:
The town of Chidambaram is situated in the central part of the state of Tamil Nadu, South India. The city is on the Thanjavur-Chennai route.

Chidambaram (also Thillai) literally means the sky permeated by an atmosphere of intelligence and wisdom.
The golden hall of dance was built and covered with plates of gold by Jatavarman Sundroid Pandya (years 1251-1272). I was very proud of his achievement, and as such assumed the title of Raja Hemchandandana (literally the king who covered the temple with gold).

The Nataraja Temple. The temple is located in the center of the city of Chidambaram. The roof of the sanctorum of the shrine is covered with plates of gold. The deity of the temple is represented by air, one of the five elements of the universe known as Akas Lingam. This is the temple of the cosmic dancer, where the deity is called Nataraja. This temple has five halls, including the Kanaka Sabha and the Chit Sabha. The main icon of Nataraja is in the Kanaka Sabha. One of the significant aspects of the temple is that there is no image of God in the Chit Sabha, which contains the lingam of Akas. This is to signify that God exists in vacant space. The Nritta Sabha or the Hall of the dance are the most beautiful and remarkable of the five corridors, built in the form of trolley on wheels drawn by horses. There are 56 pillars in the corridor are the attitudes of 108 Bharat Natyam, classical dance of Tamilnadu.
