Gangeshwar Temple
Gangeshwar Mahadev
A Shiva temple among seaside rocks, where five lingams are washed by the waves in turn. Legend says they were worshipped by the five Pandava brothers.
Gangeshwar Temple sits by the sea in Fudam village. Five Shiva lingams are enshrined in the crevices of the rocks. At high tide, seawater washes over the lingams, and at low tide they emerge again, and devotees offer flowers and pray here. Legend says the five Pandava brothers from the Mahabharata worshipped Shiva here during their exile. The temple is small but has a distinctive atmosphere. Visitors must remove their shoes before entering, and the rocks are slippery, so take care. It is about 3 km from the old town and pairs well with the Chakratirth sunset viewpoint.
