Neelkanth Mahadev

This Shiva Temple is in a thickly wooded area near Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, India.

 

According to legend this is the place where Lord Shiva consumed poison, which came out of the ocean after the great churning. This made his throat turn blue and hence the name Neelkanth. Shiva who is known as the destroyer, became saviour here and hence is most revered among his devotees.

 

India is full of wonders and it’s our faith that makes these wonders real.
