NARAYAN SAROVAR - KOTESHWAR

  • Koteshwar is a small village and the location of an ancient Shiva temple. It is located near the mouth of Kori Creek, in the west of  Kutch district of Gujarat, India.
  • In past, the temple was almost entirely cut off from the mainland by tidal creeks but now is connected by road. Koteshwar Mahadev is said to be the Bhairava of Hinglaj Mata residing at Hinglaj. The virtuous devotees are therefore recommended to visit Koteshwar after they have visited Hinglaj Mata.
  • The story of Koteshwar begins with Ravana, who won it as a boon from Lord Shiva for an outstanding display of piety, this Shiva linga of great spiritual power. But which Ravana, in his arrogant haste, accidentally dropped and it fell to earth at Koteshwar. To punish Ravana for his carelessness, the linga turned into a thousand identical ones, some versions of the story say ten thousand, some a million. Unable to distinguish the original, Ravana grabbed one and departed, leaving the original one here, around which Koteshwar Temple was built. The temple is also known as Kotilingeshwar Temple.
