Can you guess what is common between all these prominent temples in India?
1. Kedarnath
2. Srikalahasti
3. Ekambareswarar
4. Tiruvannamalai
5. Thiruvanaikaval
6. Chidambaram
7. Rameswaram
8. Kaleshwaram
If your answer is that they all are Shiva Temples, you are only partially correct. It is actually the longitude on which these temples are located.
They all are located on 79° longitude.
What is surprising and awesome is that how the architects of these temples many hundreds of kilometers apart came up with these precise locations without GPS or any such modern day gizmos.
1. Kedarnath 79.0669°
2. Kalahashti 79.7037°
3. Ekambaranatha 79.7036°
4. Thiruvanamalai 79.0747°
5. Thiruvanaikaval 78.7108
6. Chidambaram 79.6954°
7. Rameshwaram 79.3129°
8. Kaleshwaram 79.9067°
