Interesting facts about Nageshwar Jyotirlinga
It is believed that those who worship Nageshwar Jyotirlinga and meditate here will be freed from all poisons – both physical and spiritual (like anger and temptation) ones.
There is some confusion about the actual site of the jyotirlinga. There are two other temples which have shrines for Nageshwar – Nagnath at Audhgram near Purna in Andhra Pradesh, and Jageshwar temple near Almora in Uttar Pradesh.
There is an interesting story behind why the linga faces south. Legend has it that a devotee called Naamdev was asked by other devotees to step aside and not hide the Lord while chanting his name. Naamdev asked the others to suggest a direction where the Lord does not exist. The angry devotees carried him to the south and left him there. They were astonished to find that the linga was also facing south!
People also worship Goddess Parvati along with Lord Shiva here.
While you can visit this spiritual spot at any time in the year, it would be best to visit it during the winter months - between September and March. Visiting this ancient and divine destination during Mahashivratri would be the ultimate treat for any devotee!
