Lifestyle News Desk. Although there are many temples of Lord Shiva in our country, but the temple of Bholenath in Gujarat is quite different from others. This temple disappears twice a day. The special thing about this temple is that it is bathed in the waves of the sea. For this unique reason this temple is the center of faith. Lakhs of devotees come here every day. We are talking about Stambheshwar Mahadev Temple located in Vadodara, Gujarat. Let us tell you in detail about this mysterious temple…
The disappearance of the temple is a unique miracle of nature.
Stambheshwar Mahadev Temple is located on the sea coast in Bharuch district of Gujarat. It was invented 200 years ago. The temple here disappears twice a day. Let us tell you that there is no miracle behind this but it is a unique miracle of nature. Since the temple is near the sea, due to the tide in the sea the entire temple gets submerged in the sea. People can visit this temple only after the tide comes in the sea. Such natural activities have been happening for centuries. Shivalinga of Mahadev is worshiped in the temple when the waves rise during high tide. This event takes place every morning and evening.
There is a legend associated with this temple
Information about this temple comes from Skandapuran. It is said that Tarakasura performed very rigorous penance for Lord Shiva, due to which Lord Bholenath was pleased and asked the demon to ask for the desired boon. The demon demanded that only the 6-day-old son of Lord Shiva could kill him. Bholenath gave him a boon. After getting the boon, Tarakasura started spreading terror everywhere. Everyone from Gods and Goddesses to sages and sages were worried. Troubled by this, all the gods and sages approached Mahadev and told him their dilemma. After this, Kartikeya killed Tarakasura at the age of just 6 days. But when Kartikeya came to know that Tarakasur was a devotee of Bholenath, he was quite disappointed. Lord Vishnu told Kartikeya that to get rid of this sin he should build a Shiva temple at the place where the demon was killed. Only after this, all the gods together established Vishwanandak Pillar at Mahisagar Sangam Tirtha, which is today known as Stambheshwar Tirtha.
