Nageshwar Jyotirlinga Temple
નાગેશ્વર જ્યોતિર્લિંગ
One of Shiva's twelve Jyotirlingas, with a 25-meter blue seated statue of Shiva in front that marks the northern route from Dwarka.
Nageshwar Temple lies between Dwarka and Bet Dwarka, about 17 kilometers from the city. Many devotees regard its lingam as the Nageshwar (Lord of Serpents) lingam among Shiva's twelve Jyotirlingas. The lingam in the underground sanctum is small, and devotees can queue to go in and offer milk and water. In front of the temple stands a blue seated statue of Shiva about 25 meters tall. It is very eye-catching and the most popular photo spot. The temple is open about 06:00 to 21:00 with a brief midday closure. Entry is free, but photography is not allowed inside. It is usually combined with Rukmini Temple, Gopi Talav and Bet Dwarka as a half-day or full-day hired-car route.
