Bilkeswara
Mahadev Mandir
It
is dedicated to Siva and lies to the west of railway station. Here
offering of bilva leaves is given top priority and hence the name
Bilkeswara Mahadev. Next, the Dakshineswara Mahadev temple situated
in Kankhal, a suburb of this holy thirtha kshetra lies on the other
side of the river. It was built in commemoration of Lord Siva's
descent from Kailas at this very spot to take the corpse of Sati
after immolation. And it is here all the gods appeared to appease
Lord Siva's anger and to save Daksha from annihilation. The
Sivalinga is quite impressive and devotees worship it with Ganges
water as done at Banaras. These places are sanctified by the
association of Siva and Sati. Hence visitation for adoration with
unusual exuberance of religious zeal.
All
these lie in Haridwar, the pilgrim centre of All India importance.
So every transport facility is available round the clock.
