Shiv Mandir, Jalandhar
Punjab, Jalandhar
Located at Gur Mandi adjacent to the mosque of Imam Nasar, the Shiv Mandir is one of the most ancient temples of the Jalandhar region. It exhibits an amalgamation of Hindu-Muslim architecture, representing the tolerance between the two religions. The shrine dates back to the Lodhi era and was built by a Nawab who ruled Jalandhar.
The legend behind this temple says that once a Nawab who ruled the area fell in love with a Hindu married woman. She refused his advances and was saved from the Nawab's clutches by a serpent. A huge devotee of Lord Shiva, she believed that the Lord had sent his serpent to save her. The Nawab, repenting his mistake, decided to build a temple for Lord Shiva honouring the women's devotion.
The temple displays a blend of Hindu-Muslim architecture. The front gate is built in classic Muslim style of architecture, while the rest of the complex in Hindu style. The shrines have white and red etched pyramid shaped shikharas. The presiding deity of the shrine is Lord Shiva. The image of the serpent is also worshipped.Pic Courtesy : www.goibibo.com
