Shri Jaleshwar Mahadev Mandir

Shri Jaleshwar Mahadev Mandir is an ancient riverside shrine dedicated to Lord Shiva in his water-associated form, Jaleshwar (“Lord of the Waters”). The temple is built from blue-grey stone, partially submerged in the river during monsoon, giving it a mystical floating appearance. The inner sanctum houses a naturally formed Shivalinga, constantly bathed by a stream of spring water that flows from a sacred rock above.

Fragrant lotus flowers, the sound of gushing water, and distant bells create a peaceful, almost dreamlike atmosphere. Devotees wade through ankle-deep water to offer prayers, believing that Shiva here blesses with clarity, healing, and emotional peace.

Reverance

Legend says the temple was discovered over 1,500 years ago by a fisherman named Nandan, who noticed his nets always returned empty near a certain point in the river. One night, Lord Shiva appeared to him in a dream, revealing his presence beneath the water.

When locals cleared the riverbed, they uncovered a glowing Shivalinga, untouched by time. A small shrine was built, and over centuries, rulers and sages expanded it into the grand temple seen today. During the medieval period, it became a key stop for pilgrims traveling to Kedarnath and Badrinath.

Miraculously, the temple has survived countless floods—locals say it's because “water cannot harm the Lord of Water.”
