Koteshwar Mahadev, Hindu temple in Rudraprayag, India.
The Koteshwar Mahadev Temple stands inside a natural cave formation overlooking the convergence of Alaknanda and Mandakini rivers in Uttarakhand.
According to regional records, Lord Rama performed meditation at this location to seek absolution after his battle with Ravana.
The temple follows traditional Hindu rituals where devotees navigate through narrow cave passages to reach the sanctum containing the sacred Shiva lingam.
Located 3 kilometers from central Rudraprayag, the temple operates daily from 6 AM to 5 PM and maintains strict photography restrictions.
The temple marks the location where the navel part of goddess Sati fell, establishing it as one of the significant Shakti Peetha sites.
