Kaleshwar Temple is a well-known temple in Sindhudurg. It is located in Nerur and is the Gramdev. Kaleshwar is Lord Shiva’s Roop. There is a very old interesting story about God Kaleshwar. This place where the temple is located now was a dense forest in olden days. A cow used to pour her milk every day in an open space, one day a priest saw her doing this. He was surprised to see this scene and dug the ground to check. He found a Natural Shiv Lingam below and now this place is turned into a huge temple with different God nearby to this temple. Devi Sateri, Dev Gavdoba, Dev Brahmanath, Shri Ravalnath, Vetal, Bhutnath. The Shiv Lingam and Shalunka are black in color and is separate. Nitin even said someone told them during their childhood that while the Priest dug he accidentally hurt the Shiv Ling and which has a mark on the lingam even till date.

Had read about this important temple earlier and was fascinated by the cow offering milk to the deity.
Our India is truly great and amazing.
Creative doors and pillars. Lovely pics!
