Neelkanth Mahadev Temple
Neelkanth
Mahadev Temple is a famous Shiva temple located near the Kumbhalgarh
Fort. Built in 1458 AD, it has a six feet high Shivling which are made
of stone and dedicated to Lord Shiva. Shiva is the only deity in that
area. Legends says that King Rana Kumbha used to worship this deity.
King was also beheaded by his own son when he was offering prayers at
the shrine.
Rana Kumbha was so
tall that when he sat for the offerings of prayer on the floor, his
eyes were on the same level of the Shivling. Neelkanth Mahadev Temple is
situated to the east of the Vedi shrine. It also has an entrance from
all four directions and consists of a sanctum and an open pillared
mandapa all around.
Inscription on the left pillar of the western gate tells about the renovations done by Rana Sanga.
Neelkanth
Mahadev Temple, in true Rajasthani style, is also a part of the fort
body major, the chieftain of Kumbhalgarh. It turns whitish in colour
when viewed from certain angles in the dark and makes for delightful
photography. It is dedicated to The Lord Shiva, and has a 6 foot lingam
inside, one of the very few actually cared for by local present day
mortals. This is very significant tourism wise, and you should arrange
to pay a visit on sightseeing tour when you’re in the area.
