PAONTA - PATLIEN JYOTIRLINGA MANDIR

The city of Paonta Saheb etched its glorious name on the pages of history as a holy seat of Gurudwara. It is here Guru Govind Singh wrote the major portion of the Dassam Granth. This fast growing city proudly proclaims of having an ancient Siva temple and more so claiming its Sivalinga as a Joytirlinga. The legend narrates that it was a powerful one worshipped by Patanjali, one of the disciples of Vyasa Maharshi. Many celebrated kings and sages adored and accomplished their desires with the Lord's grace.

Another Siva temple lying 8 km of Paonta also lures Saivates throughout the year.

It lies 45 km of Dehradun and accessible by bus from Nahanaho.
