!!!...Mukti Gupteshwar Temple in Australia....!!!!

Photo: !!!...Mukti Gupteshwar Temple in Australia....!!!!

The man made 13th and the last manual Jyothirlinga was gifted to Australia in 1999 by the then King of Nepal -- the late Birendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev.
Together with this was gifted 7996 hymns arranged in eight volumes especially to be sung in praise of this deity.
According to the scriptures, construction of this lingam had to be in the southern hemisphere which symbolised the 'mouth of the snake', the snake being like an ornament around Lord Shiva's neck. Hence Australia was chosen.
This temple's foundation was laid on Shivratri in 1999 in Minto -- Sydney's suburb.
Its uniqueness lies in the fact that it is the only cave temple to have been constructed by man.
Together with the man made 13th Jyotirlinga, the temple also houses the replicas of the other 12 Jyotirlingas.
In all, the temple complex has 1128 smaller temples all of which are related to Lord Shiva.
Inside the main sanctum is a 10 metre deep vault where there are two million notes written by hand saying 'Om Namah Shivaya' from devotees.
(please note this jyotirlinga is made by Nepal king due to his devotion towards lord Shiva,it has no connection with our literature but it is one of the famous temple outside India so has been shared with you all here.)
May Lord Shiva bless all.!
