Exploring Dwarka is not just limited to paying homage to Lord Krishna and the Rukmini Devi Temple, but to several other shrines. Among them, Bhadkeshwar Mahadev Temple stands out.
Located at the edge of Dwarka, Bhadkeshwar Mahadev Temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva and is perched on a hillock facing the Arabian Sea, west of Dwarka. The temple is situated near the Geeta Temple and Rukshamanee Temple, connected via a path leading up the hill with stairs guiding you directly to the temple. The temple is uniquely surrounded by the flowing waters of the ocean.
The deity worshipped here is Chandra-Moulishwar Shiva, and the temple is believed to be built by Jadguru Shankaracharya. He recognized the form of Lord Shiva as Chandra Moulishwar at the confluence of the Gomti River, Ganga River, and the Arabian Sea.
The temple complex is home to more than 1200 Shaligram Shilas and 1300 Shivalingas, along with metal statues representing 75 Shankaracharyas. These Shaligrams are sacred gemstones, believed to be earthly manifestations of Lord Vishnu.
The architectural beauty of this temple is impressive, housing priceless holy artifacts and surrounded by natural beauty, which provides an enriching experience of peace and tranquility.
Bhadkeshwar Mahadev Temple is a true gem of Dwarka and one of the most beautiful Shiva temples in India.
