Neelkanth Mahadev Temple: An  Architectural Spiritual Wonder In Rishikesh

Neelkanth-Mahadev-Temple

Rishikesh is a divine city in Uttarakhand with religious sites, yoga ashrams, and even adventure sites. Among many famous temples to visit is Neelkanth Mahadev Temple. The mere mention of this place implies that it is dedicated to Lord Shiva, who is also called Mahadev. We will reveal how he got this name while briefing about the temple. 

Neelkanth Mahadev Temple: A temple worth admiring for its architectural beauty & mythological significance

Many famous holy shrines in India are dedicated to Lord Shiva. Neelkanth Mahadev Temple is one of them. Located 32 km from the Yoga Capital of India, the temple is worth visiting for its colourful exterior and spectacular architecture. According to Hindu mythology, it is the place where Lord Shiva drank the Halahal poison during the Samudra Manthan (churning of the ocean) to save the universe from destruction.

On doing this, his throat became blue, and since then, he has earned the name Neelkanth, meaning the one with the blue throat. Now, to save him from the effect of poison flowing all over his body, goddess Parvati, his consort, put her hand on his throat and prevented the poison from spreading. 

Best time to visit the Shiva temple

When you go to the temple, you will see the beautiful depiction of Samudra Manthan, a tug-of-war between devas and demons. The temple is open from 6:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Within the temple there is a natural spring where devotees take a bath. The best time to visit this holy shrine is from September to June. 

In addition to usual visits, this sacred pilgrimage spot gets crowded during two auspicious festive occasions: Mahashivratri and Shrawan.  During these festive seasons, people offer coconut, milk, honey, flowers, bael leaves, and datura to the lord. 

Best resort to stay in Rishikesh

To visit this pious shrine, there are many hotels to stay in. But it would be better if you find an accommodation that lets you reach the site in less time. And the one best option we suggest you book jüSTa Rasa Retreat & Spa.
