One of the most&nbsp;<strong>famous Shiva temples in India<\/strong>, Kedarnath is a part of the Char Dham yatra of Uttarakhand. The temple stands tall near the Mandakini River and is a place where Lord Shiva came to hide from the Pandavas so that the latter couldn&#8217;t find him as they were coming to him to apologise after the War of Kurukshetra.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Kashi_Vishwanath_Varanasi\"><\/span>2.

The temple is one among the 12 Jyotirlingas. It is a belief among people that one who takes his last breath at Kashi Vishwanath Temple finds <em>moksha <\/em>from the cycle of rebirth. Thereafter, he moves to the shelter of Vishwanath, who is the Lord of the world. This temple is a delight to visit on the occasion of Shivaratri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Tungnath_temple_Uttarakhand\"><\/span>3.

The devotees take the famous <strong>Chandrashila trek<\/strong> every year to reach this temple. The journey to the temple is very delightful as it inundates one with the view of snow-capped peaks, greenery, and an adventure of a lifetime. Also, as you park at the temple at the end of the trek, you experience a phenomenal view smeared with piousness and greenery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Kailashnath_temple_Maharashtra\"><\/span>4. Kailashnath temple, Maharashtra<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/astrotalk.com\/astrology-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Kailasha_temple_at_ellora.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-131282\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The 8th-century temples dedicated to Lord Shiva are a sheer example of art, hard work and dedication. Built in the time of Rashtrakutas out of the single stone, the whole stricture of 34 temples make one of the <strong>most popular Shiva temples in India<\/strong>. Every year, a number of devotees throng to Aurangabad in Maharashtra, to experience the fine craftsmanship that reeks off the walls of the Kailashnath Temple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Amarnath_Cave_Kashmir\"><\/span>5.

The temple sits inside a giant cave and forms once a year due to icing. The Amarnath cave opens in summer, and it is when tourists get a glimpse of it. However, the most fun part of visiting this temple is the trek one has to take to the top, which requires commendable strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Mallikarjuna_Swamy_temple_Andhra_Pradesh\"><\/span>6.

This temple is also a part of the 12 Jyotirlingas. Though the temple was built by the rulers of the Satavahana dynasty in the 2nd century, however, modern additions were made by Vijayanagara Empire king, Harihara I. In the temple, devotees worship Lord Shiva in the form of Mallikarjun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Lepakshi_Temple_Karnataka\"><\/span>7.

The temple was a famous centre of trade and pilgrimage in the time of the Vijaynagar empire. As of now, the temple complex comprises three shrines dedicated to Lord Shiva, Lord Veerbhadra and Lord Vishnu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Omkareshwar_temple_Madhya_Pradesh\"><\/span>8.

Interestingly, the temple is on an island that is OM in shape. This Lord Shiva temple is also a part of 12 Jyotirlingas. The idol of Lord Shiva or Lord Omkareshwar in the temple has three heads reflecting significant mythologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Also Read:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/astrotalk.com\/astrology-blog\/5-zodiac-signs-that-are-marriage-material\/\"><strong>5 Zodiac Signs That Are Marriage Material<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Lingaraj_temple_Odisha\"><\/span>9.

The temple was first built by the rulers of the Somavamsi dynasty. However, it was later modified and renovated by the rulers of the Ganga dynasty. The temple is currently the oldest temple of Odisha and one of the most&nbsp;<strong>famous Shiva temples in India.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Vadakkunnathan_temple_Kerala\"><\/span>10.

The uniqueness of the temple is in the Lingam it houses. Devotees of Lord Shiva bring ghee as an offering to Lord Shiva in the temple. Due to this, the result is that today people see a mound of ghee in place of Linga in the temple. The ghee, however, is also given back to the devotees for consumption purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"11_Shrikhand_Mahadev_Himachal_Pradesh\"><\/span>11.

One has to take one of the most dangerous treks in the country to reach this temple. The trek, starting from Kullu, Himachal Pradesh, needs you to walk on a thin sheet of ice with deep valleys on both sides. However, when the fog in the vicinity subdues, you get to behold the beauty of the place from the top of the world. The temple, however, is a 75 feet Shivalingam at the end of the trek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"12_Bhojpur_Shiva_temple_Madhya_Pradesh\"><\/span>12.
