Neelkanth Mahadev Temple, Hindu temple in Pauri Garhwal, India.
The temple stands at 1,330 meters elevation in the Uttarakhand mountains, with carved stone walls depicting religious scenes and deities.
Built during the reign of Ahilyabai Holkar, this temple marks the location where Lord Shiva consumed poison during the churning of the ocean.
The temple holds major celebrations during Shivaratri, when pilgrims gather for rituals, prayers, and traditional music performances.
The temple requires a 25-kilometer journey from Rishikesh, including a boat crossing over the Ganges and a moderate mountain trek.
A natural spring within the temple complex serves as a ritual bathing spot where devotees purify themselves before entering the shrine.
