Nageshwar Shiva Temple

Reviewed By AKAlld - Allahabad, India

Nageshwar Mahadev is one of the 12 Jyotirling of Mahadev. Somnath Mahadev and this one are located in Gujarat. During winter of 2019 I could get opportunity to have a glimpse of Lord Shiva. This temple is accessible from Dwarka. The temple is beautiful and grand. When I reached there, I got the darshan within 30 minutes. Only a little crowd was there. Prasad is sold inside temple premises. Darshan of Lord Shiva is available from a distance of 2-3 meter. After darshan one can meditate and worship Lord Shiva by sitting in a platform opposite to it. I was lucky to have glimpse of this holy Jyotirling. None can review or rate such holy place but I am writing here just to tell my experience . Om Namo Shivay.

Rukshamanee Mandir

Reviewed By LAJJU2512 - Jaipur District, India

Yes, known as Rukmini DEvi Temple it is appprox 2 KM fgrom main DWarka. It is dedicated to Godess Rukmini, Lord Krishna's chief queen. It is stated to be approx 2,200 to 2,500 old though the present form is sid to took shape approx 1,000 years back. At the request of sage Durwasa Lord Krishna and Rukmini were pulling a chariot taking Durwasa to their home. Enroute, Rukmini asked for water to drink and Lord Krishna drew Ganges water by prodding the ground with his toe. Rukmini drank the water to quench her thirst but Durwasa felt insuted as Rukmini did not find it courteous to ask the Rishi first. As such, the legend says that Durwasa cursed here that she would live separately from her husband and there would be no sweet drinking water ever. People devote pure drinking water to seek her blessings.
