How To Reach Kaleshwar Mahadev Temple
Lansdowne, Uttarakhand, India
The Oldest and Most Sacred Site: The Kaleshwar Mahadev Temple is a highly revered and ancient Hindu shrine, considered the oldest temple in the entire Lansdowne area. It is primarily dedicated to Lord Shiva and is a central place of devotion for both the local populace and the brave men of the Garhw al Rifles regiment. The temple is believed to be over 500 years old, giving it immense historical and spiritual significance. It is one of the most important pilgrimage centers in the region and draws a huge crowd of devotees throughout the year. Legend of Sage Kalun and Swayambhu Shivling: The temple's name is derived from Sage Kalun (or Kalash Rishi), who is said to have meditated here about 5000 years ago. The original name of Lansdowne itself, Kaludanda ("Mountain Covered with Clouds"), is also believed to be named after this revered sage. The temple houses a unique Shivling that is believed to be Swayambhu (Self-formed, not man-made), adding to its sanctity. Local legend says that a cowherd once found his cows naturally milking upon this Shivling in a cave, a discovery that led to the establishment of the shrine. Visitors can still see the samadhis (tomb-shrines) of many sages near the temple, confirming its long history as a land of meditation. Maintained by the Indian Army: Since the Garhwal Rifles arrived in Lansdowne in 1887, they have taken on the responsibility of maintaining the temple and its premises. The prayers and ceremonies are uniquely conducted by a Major or a senior officer of the regiment, underscoring the deep spiritual and religious connection between the regiment and the shrine. The present structure of the temple was largely erected in 1901, and a Dharamshala (rest house) was built nearby, which is also maintained by the regiment. (More than 400 words)
