Under Sea Shiva Temple

Nishkalank Mahadev Temple in Koliyak, Bhavnagar, Gujarat (India) is full of wonders and awe. This temple is buried inside the sea. On a heavy tide day, all that can be seen are the flag and a pillar. It is beyond ones comprehension that there is a Lord Shiva Temple just under the fierce sea. This temple is still in use, and people reach out to Lord Shiva’s temple about 1.5 kilometers into the sea on foot!.  Nishkalank’ has many meanings - they are clean, pure, guiltless, to cleanse, to purify, etc.  The temple has 5 distinct swayumbu Shiva lingams inside. Each lingam has a Nandhi facing it. The lingams are spread across a square platform. There is a pond called Pandavas pond, where devotees first wash their hands and legs and only then they visit the shrines.One can visit this temple only two times in 24 hours.This is definitely one of the best spiritual destinations!
