Thanks and regards,

Greetings.

Shivratri is on March 2nd

 this year. The mention of Shiva temples immediately stirs up images of Kashi,Somnath and Kedarnath. However, what is not known to a lot of people is a set of 275 Shiva temples that were revered by poets in 700CE, that are still centers of worship, art, architecture and traditions. This collection of temples is not in our collective consciousness because nothing much  has been said about them in mainstream writing.

Here is a link to a 15 minute long musical-visual-tour of the 275 Shiva temples. I invite you to watch this video clip on the occasion of Mahashivaratri. I request you to forward this to as many people as possible with a personal note requesting people to watch this, so that a wide awareness is created regarding this largely unknown rich cultural legacy.
