Nobody has an exact count of every shiv temple in India. Har gaon mein ek Shivalaya milta hai, sometimes just a black stone linga under a peepal tree with a brass lota beside it. The countable lists are still big. India has 12 Jyotirlingas<\/a>, 5 Pancha Bhoota Sthalams, 274 Paadal Petra Sthalams praised in Tamil hymns and 108 Shiva temples linked to Parashurama in Kerala. For a Bhole Baba bhakt, every shiv mandir in India is a place to pour jal, offer bel patra and whisper one wish into Nandi’s ear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kashi Vishwanath, Kedarnath, Mahakaleshwar, Somnath and Rameswaram are the most famous shiva temples in India, and Sawan or Mahashivratri brings the longest queues at all five. It’d save you a lot of trouble to know a few things beforehand. Kapat dates, aarti timings, online pass rules, trek distance, tide charts and dress codes decide how your darshan goes, and each mandir has its own set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
