Bhadkeshwar Mahadev Temple

The Bhadkeshwar Mahadev Temple stands on a hillock jutting out into the Arabian Sea on the western edge of Dwarka. Dedicated to a form of Lord Shiva known as the Chandra-Mouliswar Shiva, this ancient sanctuary enshrines a sacred Shivalinga, which is believed to be Swayambhu or the self-manifested lingam of Lord Shiva.

It is said that over five thousand years ago, the deity revealed himself in the form of this revered Shivalinga in the sea. The temple was built at the confluence of Gomti, Ganga, and the Arabian Sea by the revered Jagadguru Adi Shankaracharya.

Renowned as one of Dwarka's most iconic Shiva temples, the Bhadkeshwar Mahadev Temple offers you not only spiritual fervour but also an unrivalled view of Dwarka's scenic coastline due to its elevated perch.
