[edit]DescriptionJyotirlingeshwor Mahadev Temple Sakwa Sankharapur Municipility Sankhu Kathmandu Nepal (10).jpg |
English: Ancient Jyotirlingeshwar Mahadev Temple, Sankhu, Kathmandu.
An ancient and famous temple of Jyotirlingeshwar Mahadev Temple located in Sakwa Tole, Shankharapur Municipality, Ward No. 7, Kathmandu District. This Mahadev is the Jyotirlingeshwar Mahadeva described in the Lingapurana at the north-eastern corner of Sankhu. This idol of Mahadev is about 18 inches long and its sphere is about 12 inches round and inclined towards the north-west angle. After the devastating earthquake of 2072, this temple was destroyed and changed to its present form. When researching the period and how this temple of Mahadev was built, it can be said that it is a very ancient place as its description is mentioned in the Himabatkhand. According to legend, the sin of eating gluttony, taking away food, water and food from others is expiation by worshiping this Shivalinga. Similarly, there is also a statement that a Brahmin named Papi Saisthimukh got liberation from the teachings of Haritamuni when he offered prayers here on the 15th day of Baisakh Shukla. It is mentioned that God Birupaksha also enjoyed this shrine. Among the 64 Shivlinga of Nepal, this is also considered as one of the Shivlinga. This place in Sankhu Bazar is also a sacred religious place. Where apart from this Mahadev there are more than a dozen other Lingeshwaras. A very attractive and artistic statue of Ganesh, Bhairav, Saraswati, Budhanilkanth, Narayan, Triratna, Satyanarayan, ancient inscriptions etc. are located in a very wide area. This place, which is a mine of sculpture, is also very important from a religious and tourist point of view due to the artistic form of the sculpture. A grand fair is held here during Mahashivratri, the great festival of Hindus. In the center of religious faith, there is also a religious obligation to take a bath in Jyotirlingeshwar Mahadev's Jal Misrati Raj Kulo to perform healthy fasting towards the river Shali. |
