disease of pANDya emperor.
2. Holy Ash is one of the most adored ornaments of devotees. Lord shiva
being the form of Supreme Flame (worshipped as shiva lingam), the
ornament on It is the Holy Ash. The Lord danced "pANDaraN^gam" on the
field of ash after burning the tripuras. Articles on the glory of Holy
ash can be found at /information-to-know/significance-of-holy-ash-the-mark-on-the-forehead-of-hindus.
