Jageshwar Mahadev Mandir in Kumaon

This Sunday, I discovered a wonderful programame on DD Bharti. It s called -'Devbhoomi Kumaon'. I guess this programme takes the audience to different spiritual places in Kumaon region. I just Loved the Concept of this pogramme :) . You can catch the programme at 10:30 am on DD Bharti, on Sundays.



Last Sunday, they took us to a place called 'Jaageshwar Mahadev', which is situated near Almora, Uttarakhand, . I really LOVED the place, while watching it on tv. It has nearly 100-150 temples of different sizes, in the same area, among them, Mahamrityunjay mandir is the oldest and the most famous one. The place have a Serene atmosphere, as it is situated in the Himalayas, which gives it a speaial feeling.... Also, there are greenary around the temple area, which makes the atmosphere really beautiful!!

I searched the net regarding the temple, as I have never heard about it before, and here are some of the pages I have found about this place-
