Nageshwar temple, Dwarka, Gujarat is one of the Jyotir-Linga of Lord Shiva. Shiva is known as NAGNATH (Lord with the Snake around his neck) here and hence the name of the place is NAGESHWAR. Centuries ago, this temple is believed to be built by the PANDAVAS during their exile in the forest. The statue here is 25 meter (82 feet) tall of Lord Shiva in a sitting position. It's one of the major attractions of Nageshwar Jyothirlinga Temple. Nageshvara Jyotirlinga is one of the 12 Jyotirlinga shrines of Mahadev and also believed to be the first Jyotirlinga on the earth. On a pilgrimage of the Twelve Jyotirlinga, Late Gulshan Kumar, The Audio and Video Cassette king, went to Nageshwar to perform puja. He realised that all other Jyotirlinga Temples were renovated and glorified by various Hindu religious Kings or affluent people. However the Nageshwar Temple was still in its old form. Because of its religious importance in Hindu mythology the Temple draws thousands of devotees every day. Late Shri Gulshan Kumar decided to glorify the place by building a Temple accommodate the growing number of devotees. It can be said that the Renovation of this auspicious Temple was destined to take place at the hands of Late Shri. Gulshan Kumar. After his untimely demise, his works were looked after by his son Bhushan Kumar.! Jai Shri Nageshwar Mahadev!!
