MYSTERY OF THIS TEMPLE




The only weird thing about this temple is that it can be visited only during hours of low tides. In hours of high tides, the temple is swallowed up completely by the sea, and it reappears hours later when the water descends, thus earning the name ‘disappearing temple of Mahadev’. Hence people flock this temple in large numbers to witness the event of submerging or reemerging of the temple from the sea. This is a temple where god plays hide n seeks. When the flowers which were placed on the Shiva lingam by the devotees at the time of low tide comes afloat on the surface of the sea water at the time of high tide, it lends a spectrum of bright colors to the sea. Here the Mother Nature performs the ‘Jal Abhishek’ of the Holy Shiva lingam, herself.
