This
ancient Siva temple built atop a hillock surrounded by greenery,
affords a thrilling experience throughout the ascent on the flight
of stairs, broad and long. The hallowed mandir built in a circular
fashion looks grand. The tall, big marble Siva linga consecreted by
Adi Sankara lifts the soul beyond description. During the
circumambulation ritual itself, one experiences inexplicable joy,
and on completion of the floral offerings standing in front of it,
he feels reaching Kailas, the seat of Siva. The spacious lawns in
front and small buildings built for the convenience of yatris amidst
colorful plants detain the visitors and relieve the fatigue of
ascent by their intrinsic charms. It can be reached by bus from the
city.
There
are some more Sivaalayas in the city like Kameswar Sivalinga etc.,
that are visit -- worthy.
