Shri Kaleshwar Mandir, Hindu temple in Nerur, Sindhudurg district, India.
The Kaleshwar Temple features a central sanctum with a black Shivling placed on a raised platform called Shalunka, surrounded by stone-carved deities.
The temple originated 700 years ago when a cow led to the discovery of a natural Shivling in the forest, prompting the construction of this religious site.
The temple celebrates Maha Shivaratri for five days with religious ceremonies, local fairs, and traditional performances including Dashavtar and Kirtans.
Visitors can reach the temple through Kudal railway station or by road from Mumbai-Goa Highway, with accommodation options available in the surrounding area.
Water poured over the Shivling mysteriously disappears without accumulating on the platform, creating an unexplained phenomenon within the temple.
