Jageshwar Temples, or Jageshwar valley temples, are a group of 124 Hindu temples dated between 7th and 12th century near Almora, in the Himalayan Indian state of Uttarakhand at a altitude of 6,135 ft. It is situated amidst dense Deodar forest with a stream flowing called Jata Ganga at its backyard. Out of these 108 temples are dedicated to Lord Shiva and his different forms. Rest temples are dedicated to other Gods and Goddesses. Couldn't cover all of them. So in my 2 ND photo. The Maha Mrityunjaya temple in between is the largest and oldest temple in the Jageshwar temple complex.It is dedicated to Mrityunjaya form of Shiva, or the one who conquered death.This temple of Shiva is eastern facing and the Linga is worshipped as the savior from death. The unique linga has an eye shaped opening. Jageshwar is the place of Nagesh among the forest of Deodar, 8th among the Dwadasa Jyotirlingas: the twelve resplendent lingas of Lord Shiva established by Lord Vishnu. The stone work and architecture illustrates the North Indian Nagara style of architecture with a few exceptions that show South and Central Indian style designs, It is said that Lord Shiva left his abode and came here to meditate. It deserves to be a world heritage site. It has huge religious, archaeological and cultural importance.
