Amarnath of Mewar, where Parashuram’s ax had split the mountain, the secret of this amazing temple of Mahadev.

News India Live, Digital Desk: There is a place amidst the Aravali mountain ranges of Rajasthan, which is called ‘Amarnath of Mewar’. We are talking about ‘Parshuram Mahadev’ temple, the holy place of Lord Parshuram. Situated at an altitude of about 3995 feet above sea level, this cave temple is not only famous for its natural beauty, but also has a mythological story associated with it that gives goosebumps. It is believed that this cave was built by Lord Parashurama himself with the blow of his axe.

When Parashuram made the door of Mahadev with an axe.

According to mythology, when Lord Parashurama decided to perform severe penance to get rid of the sin of killing his mother, he came to these serene hills of Rajasthan. To please Mahadev, he needed a secluded place. He is said to have struck the mountain with his divine axe, creating a huge cave. Inside this cave, he performed rigorous penance and received a boon from Lord Shiva. Even today, looking at the structure of the cave, it appears as if the rocks were cut with a huge weapon.

Journey of 500 stairs and natural Shivalinga

To reach this temple, devotees have to climb about 500 crooked stairs. A natural Shivalinga is installed inside the cave, on which drops of water continuously drip from the ceiling of the cave. Devotees believe that every wish made here is fulfilled. Despite being an inaccessible road, lakhs of devotees throng here during the month of Sawan and Shivratri. The coolness inside the cave and the spiritual atmosphere there take the devotees to a different world.

The structure and belief of the temple is unique

The biggest feature of Parshuram Mahadev Temple is that there is a statue of Lord Ganesha whose trunk is on the right side. Also, there are many such figures inside the cave which people consider to be the form of Sheshnag and other gods and goddesses. Local people say that even today the energy of Lord Parashuram’s penance can be felt in this cave. Situated on the border of Mewar and Marwar, this temple is a symbol of communal harmony and unwavering faith, where a wonderful union of nature and devotion can be seen.
