Why Visit Neelkanth Mahadev Temple?
The temple is believed to be the exact place where Lord Shiva consumed the poison (Halahal) during Samudra Manthan. He meditated here for thousands of years and a self-manifested Shivling (Swayambhu) appeared at this holy spot. That’s why it is called Neelkanth Mahadev Mandir.

Best Time to Visit:
• Sawan (Shravan month) and Shivaratri see lakhs of devotees for Jal Abhishek
• During normal days, you can enjoy peaceful darshan without heavy crowd

Location:
• Approx. 36 KM from Haridwar
• Around 10 KM from Rishikesh main town
• 18 KM hilly road journey to the temple parking area
