Panchalingeshwar Temple, Hindu temple in Baleswar District, India
The Panchalingeshwar Temple sits on a natural rock formation where five stone Shiva lingams are positioned beneath flowing water from a spring. The lingams remain continuously submerged under this natural water stream throughout the year.
Holy men recognized the rock formation as spiritually significant and established a temple here in ancient times. The site has been maintained as a place of worship across generations.
Pilgrims arrive in large numbers during Shivratri to perform rituals and ceremonies at this sacred site. The festival brings together people from surrounding areas who gather to honor the location.
To reach the temple, visitors must climb around 150 stone steps, which requires physical effort. The best months to visit are between October and March, when the weather is more comfortable.
The five lingams formed naturally from the rock formation rather than being carved by human hands. This rare feature makes the site especially sacred to many believers.
