About Neelkanth Mahadev Temple

Madhyamaheshwar or Madmaheshwar is a Hindu temple committed to god Shiva, situated in the Mansoona town of Garhwal Himalayas in Uttarakhand, India. Arranged at a rise of 3,497 m (11,473.1 ft), it is the fourth temple to be gone by in the Panch Kedar journey circuit, involving five Shiva temples in the Garhwal locale. Alternate temples in the circuit include: Kedarnath, Tungnath and Rudranath to be gone by before Madmaheshwar and Kalpeshwar to be gone by after Madmaheshwar. The center (madhya) or midsection part or navel (nabhi) of the bull, considered an awesome type of Shiva, is adored at this temple, accepted to be worked by the Pandavas, the legends of the Hindu epic Mahabharata.

As indicated by Hindu folklore, where the Neelkanth Mahadev Temple right now stands is the hallowed area where Master Shiva expended the toxic substance that began from the ocean when Devas (Divine beings) and Asuras (Evil spirits) beat the sea so as to get Amrita. This toxin that radiated amid the Samudramanthan (stirring of sea) influenced his throat to blue in shading. Subsequently, Master Shiva is otherwise called Neelkanth, truly meaning The Blue Throated One.
