Summary
[edit]DescriptionKoteshwor Mahadev Temple Koteshwor Kathmandu Nepal Rajesh Dhungana (8).jpg |
English: The famous Koteshwar Mahadev Temple is located in Ward No. 32 of Kathmandu Metropolitan City. After entering the west from Koteshwar Chowk, there is a temple of Mahadev on Dharmasthal Marg. There is a temple of Koteshwar Mahadev in the middle of the wall surrounded by a very large area. Within this compound, there are idols of various deities including Shresheshwar Mahadev, Satpashrashi, Ashapureshwar Mahadev's temple, Radha Krishna's temple, Bishnu Bhagwan's temple, Durga Bhawani's temple, Satyanarayana's temple, temple inscriptions, old Guhrieshwari's temple. These temples are located in the shade of a very large Pipal holy tree.
Regarding the origin of this Koteshwar Mahadev temple, according to the Swasthani Brat Katha in the mythological book Skandapuran, it is mentioned that the upper tooth of Sati Devi fell and the origin of Koteshwar Mahadev was in the form of Shiva Shakti. It is said that Rakadasharudra came to this place of origin and performed asceticism. According to the Devmala genealogy, in ancient times, Shankhasura appeared in the form of Kotishwar, a form of severe penance for these deities, and as a vision of King Haridatta Burma in a dream, he built a temple and kept a guthi for daily worship. These Mahadevs are considered to be one of the 64 . In 1895, Bhimsen Thapa passed away after seeing this Shivalinga shaking. According to Himavatkhand, the place where Lord Shiva resides in the world is called Shiva Sthal Kotishwar. Earlier, Kashyap Shrishi had bathed in Rudradhara for the sake of creation and worshiped Kotishwar. He who bathes in the water called Rudradhara at the time when the river confluence of Shankhamool rises to the top, gets the same good result as bathing in Koti Tirtha. This shrine is considered to be extremely sacred as it is a conch-root shrine with a confluence of 35 million shrines. It has also been mentioned that performing shraddha in this tirtha brings 21 heredity. |
