An ancient temple dedicated to Lord Shiva, this is one of the holiest places for Hindus and one of the 12 Jyotirlingas. There is a separate entrance for taking bath in the 22 wells.

We sprinkled water at Agnee teertham. And from there we went straight to the temple. It was 9:40 in the morning. The queue was long for normal Darshan so we took quick Darshan. For quick Darshan, we payed 200 rs for each of the family members. And that’s it, we went straight to the Darshan. It is so beautiful inside. Camera and mobile phones were not allowed. Though no one was checking that but we were not allowed to take photos.

Spiritual and blissful. Gives you so much of solace and peace. Highly revered temples of Hindus. one of the four dhams. Hire a guide he will be helpful. Go prepared if you want to have bath in 22 Kunds. Mobile not allowed.

We visited the temple early morning at 5:30. We had already tied up with a Pandit ji through our temple for a puja and has requested for special Darshana tickets. The queues were much shorter for the same and the extra money paid was well worth it. The temple entrance is a bit dirty and because it was raining, it was quite mucky as well. The shoe stand is outside the temple and one needs to walk a bit on the road before entering the temple itself. You’re transported to another world right from the moment you get inside. The long intricately carved colonnade lines the temple on all sides and is really beautiful. The painting on these statues is extremely pretty. The experience of the puja at the temple and the Darshana of the shivling was divine. I wish our government would promote this temple more so that many more people can visit it
