Achaleshwar Mahadev Temple in Rajasthan, India is a very ancient temple, in existence circa the 9th century, and is dedicated to the worship of the Hindu God Shiva. It is located just outside the premises of the Achaleshwar Fort, and it is widely believed that the architectural plan included it within. Popular myth has it that the temple was built surrounding a giant toe-print of the Lord Shiva, and there are statues of bulls (the carrier of Lord Shiva), filigree work and actual Shiva-lingas inside the temple. It had suffered heavily because of lack of adequate maintenance, but revival work has been underway and has done a lot of improvement. This temple can be visited from the only peak here, Mount Abu.
