Witnessing Shiva in his Natural habitat

This temple is pretty much different from other Shiva Temples around the country for one major reason, the architecture of the temple. The builders of the temple attempted to show Lord Shiva in his natural habitat by constructing a huge monolith of the God in white Marble, around 65 ft. tall, surrounded by small rocks and mounds, depicting the Himalayas and Mount Kailasa. The figurine sits in a large artificial pool of water to imitating the rivers of Mount Kailasa. The entrance of the mandir is marked with a 25 ft. tall Shiva Linga, symbolizing the sacred form of the deity. A navgraha temple is also present inside the premise, depicting the nine planets off the solar system and their journey through time.
