Aruṇāchalam is another name for the Arunachaleswara Temple in Thiruvannamalai (Tiruvaṇṇāmalai) refers to one of the Pañcasabhā or “five halls where Śiva is said to have danced”.—The Śaivite puṇya-sthala (holy place) Aruṇācaleśvar Temple is in Tiruvaṇṇāmalai District. The town stands at an elevation of 266 ft (79.80M) above sea level. According to Narayanaswamy, this sthala is also known by the names Aruṇagiri, Aṇṇāmalai, Aruṇāchalam, Aruṇai, Soṇagiri, and Soṇācalam. All these names signify the Fire Mountain. The very hill called Aṇṇāmalai or the Great Mountain is worshipped as the liṅga. The sthala is famous as it is considered the seat of Jyoti or teyu-liṅga (one of the five sacred liṅgas). The Aruṇācaleśvar Temple is one of the biggest temples in Tamilnadu.
