The word Sanskrit compound jyotis 'shining' and linga. There are twelve traditional Jyotirlinga shrines in India. The Legend of Mahapuria, once Brahma (god of creation) and Vishnu (the form of God during the Preservation) quarreled over the superiority of creation. To settle the controversy, the Supreme God Shiva pierced three worlds, appearing as the huge Infinite Pillar of Light, Giotirling, which later cooled down in the Holy Mount of Annamalay (on which the Temple of Arunachaleswara is located). Vishnu and Brahma shared their paths down and up respectively to find the end of the world in either direction. Brahma lied that he found out about the end, and Vishnu admitted his defeat. This lie of Brahma angered Shiva, forcing him to curse Brahma that although he is the creator of the universe, he will not be worshipped. Giotirling is the Supreme Shiva, a non-happy reality from which Shiva appeared in a different form, Lingodjave. The shrines of jiotyrling are the temples where Shiva appeared as a pillar of light. It was originally thought to be 64 jiotyrlings, while 12 of them were considered very favorable and holy. Each of the twelve sites of the giotyrlings adopts the name of the presiding deity, each of which is considered a different manifestation of Shiva. In all these areas, the main image is lingam, representing the syless and endless pillar of Stamkh, symbolizing the infinite nature of Shiva.
