We visited Thirunallur near thirukkarugavur The deity is pancha varneswarar.We went to the temple around 10 am.The Lingam was fully "swarnamayam' like the kailash mountain at dhirapuk.We performed sankalpam and did archanai Around 11.45 the Lingam started changing its colour to emerald green.we were awestricken.The priest in the temple was telling us the Sthala puranam. The lingam has small holes just enough for the bee to enter. The saptharishis are in the form of bees and they are collecting the paramanu{minutest atom part} from each species of the living things and preserving them.When kaliyug ends with pralaya thenext manvantara will have the life started from these.
Then it occured to me that changing of the colour of the linga may be associated to the preservation of the cells that are collected.
Our rich culture and knowledge about life and its different aspects universe and its manifestations are fathomless
