Shiva Parvati marriage will be held in Gaurishankar temple located at bus stand. Sanjeev form of Shiva Parvati and Radha Krishna will be the center of attraction. After all the rituals of Shiv Parvati marriage are done in the Gaurishankar temple, the procession will reach the ancient Shiva temple.
108 Shivlings are made in Shivling
The specialty of this very ancient Shivling is that worshiping this Shivling gives 108 times the result. Since there are 108 Shivlings in the water of Shivling. That is why it is believed that if we offer a Bel leaf, then offering Bel leaf on 108 Shivling gives the result, this type of Shivling will be rare elsewhere.
The virtue of seeing 108 Shivling
The architecture of the temple is also unique
This temple of Lord Shiva is built in the northeast, which is completely built on a single stone. This temple is completely built keeping in mind the Vastu Shastra.

Along with this, other stone sculptures are also present here, which are very rare and very ancient.
