History

Bhadkeshwar Mahadev Mandir is on the hillock in the sea. The revered temple is behind the Geeta Mandir, in the west of Dwarka. The Bhadkeshwar Temple timings for darshan are from sunrise to sunset. The best time to visit Bhadkeshwar Mahadev Temple is around sunset and when the tide is low. During the high tide the temple gets surrounded by water, but at the time of ebb when the water level come backs to normal one can reach there very easily. There are steps to get into the temple.
Chandra-Mouliswar Shiva is the presiding deity at the core of the temple. The deity form was found at the confluence of Gomati, Ganga and Arabian Sea by the Acharya Jagatguru Sankaracharya himself. In addition, there are 1200 Salgramshilas, 1300 Shiva Lingas, metal forms of 75 Sankaracharyas. It is a memorable experience to get the darshan form the sea and or just watching the sea from the island. A fair takes palace here on the day of mahashivratri when thousands throng to pay respect to Lord Shiva.
