Shree Neelkanth Mahadev
Mandir, Pauri Garhwal
#Uttarakhand
It is a sacred mandir for hindus which is dedicated to Mahadev. It is situated on a hill at a height of 1330 mtrs. It is surrounded by dense forests and is adjacent to the mountain ranges of Nar-Narayan.
When Samudra manthan were jointly done by asuras and devtas.
Many valuables emerged from the ocean, which were divided by the devas and the asuras. Then poison appeared and no one had that power to consume it.
Only dev adi dev mahadev have that power. So he consumed the poison that appeared from the 'Sagar Manthan'. He had saved the brahmand. when all were behind the Amrit he drank halahal.
#HarHarMahadevॐ 🙌
After drinking the poison, Mahadev's throat turned blue and since then, Mahadev is also known as 'Neelkantha' (The one having blue throat).
The place where the Neelkanth Mahadev mandir currently stands is the sacred location where #Mahadev consumed the poison.
The mandir has an ancient architecture and a very beautiful complex, comprising of a one natural spring where devotees take a holy bath before entering the premises of the temple. The sanctum sanctorum of the mandir houses a ‘Shiv Lingam in a phallic form.
