Location Maharashtra, Mumbai suburban, Mumbai
Legend
This is a very ancient temple of Lord Siva, who is here in
the name of Jagruteswar . Interestingly, the yoni of the lingam here keeps
increasing in size and currently is relatively fairly bigger than the lingam
itself . Infact the name Jagruteswar is because the Lord here is awake and is
growing. Keen observers, even today, realize this growth in the size of the
yoni.
Architecture
The structure follows modern architectural theme.
Culture
The NaviMumbai culture is a blend of traditional festivals,
food, music, cinema, and theatres. Vashi is the first node of Navi Mumbai from
