Kalpeshwar, Hindu temple in Garhwal, Uttarakhand, India
The Kalpeshwar temple stands at an elevation of 2,134 meters in the Kalpganga Valley, surrounded by dense forests and mountain peaks.
The temple belongs to the Panch Kedar group, constructed by the Pandavas according to Hindu tradition after the Mahabharata war.
Devotees worship the matted locks of Lord Shiva at this temple, where he is known as Jateshwar, referring to his hair manifestation.
The temple requires a 2-kilometer trek from Lari village, with access throughout the year and morning ceremonies starting at 6:00 AM.
Inside a natural cave, pilgrims discover the self-manifested Shiva lingam and the Kalever Kund, a water source believed to possess medicinal properties.
