Location | Kumbhalgarh

Divinity Meets The Hills
Tucked within the forested folds of the Kumbhalgarh Wildlife Sanctuary, just a short distance from the iconic Kumbhalgarh Fort, lies the tranquil and revered Neelkanth Mahadev Temple. Dedicated to Lord Shiva, this 15th-century shrine is a spiritual beacon for pilgrims and history lovers alike—offering a quiet retreat from the fort’s grandeur and the sanctuary’s wild rhythms.
Architecture of Neelkanth Mahadev Temple
Built in classic Solanki style, the temple is a marvel of stone craftsmanship and spiritual symbolism:
- A 12-foot tall black stone Shiva lingam forms the sanctum’s heart
- Intricately carved pillars and friezes depict celestial beings and mythological motifs
- The temple’s elevated platform and open courtyard invite both reflection and reverence
Despite centuries of weathering, the structure retains its aura of timeless devotion and architectural grace.
