Brahma Sarovar Temple

Sarveshwar Mahadev Temple, commonly known as Brahma Sarovar Temple, is dedicated to Lord Shiva. Mythology says that Lord Brahma used to worship Lord Shiva in this temple. During the battle of Mahabharata, temple used to get destroyed by war in the daytime and reconstructed during the night, everyday. Mughal emperors ruined it during their supremacy and later, Hari Giri Gosai Jee renovated it in the 18th century. Most of the temple is constructed from buff sandstone along with marble in some parts. There are three entrance doors to the temple from the compound with carved floral designs at each door. Devotees also worship Lord Hanuman and Lord Garuda in this temple. It's an incredibly beautiful temple positioned on the waters of Brahma Sarovar itself. A concrete arch bridge links the temple to the bank. The temple is viewed best from Krishna Ghat during sunset. Setting sun's reddish golden colour reflects into the pond making the image of the temple in water look saintly. Many people gather here for evening Aarti. Walking around the temple and listening to the chants of mantras is known to heal one's soul. This temple is also the favourite photo spot of visitors at Brahma Sarovar.
