This majestic 65 foot open-air idol of Lord Shiva is located on Air Port Road, behind the famous Kemp Fort. Shiva is portrayed in the posture of Padmasan with the replica of the holy Ganga flowing from his topknot.
Behind the idol is the holy cave.The Cave Yatra is traditionally called the ‘ Amarnath Yatra’. Within the cave are twelve beautifully decorated Jyotir Lingas. There is the reverberation of “Om Namah Shivaya” mantra within the cave. The cave yatra is open to the public from 9 am to 9 pm. It attracts a large number of devotees, especially during festivals like Shivaratri, when four to five lakh devotees come here in a day. Puja services are offered free of charge for everyone.
There is a wishing pool. The priest of the temple says, “Devotees can get their wishes fulfilled by lighting a candle, dropping a coin in the pool and by chanting ‘ Om Namah Shivaya’ seven times.”
Ravi Melwani, a well-known business personality and owner of Kemp Fort, who is also a staunch devotee of Shiva, was instrumental in the construction of this idol and temple.
