                                               PILGRIMAGE IN INDIA

Nageshwar  Jyotirlinga:-  Nageshwar   near   Dwarka   in
Gujarat is one  of  the 12  Jyotirlinga  shrines  of  Shiva.  The
Jyotirlinga in the temple is known  as  Nageshwar  Mahadev.
The temple is visited  by  thousands  of  pilgrims  every  year.
The Jyotirlinga situated in the temple is considered to protect
everybody from all sort of  poisons. It  is  believed  that  one
who offers prayers in the temple becomes  poison  free. The
temple is located  between Dwarka  and  Dwarka  island  in
Gujarat on the coast of Surat. According  to  the  legends, a
devotee called Supriya was  attacked  by  a  demon  named
Daaruka in a boat.

The demon imprisoned the devotee and several others  in  his capital  called  Daarukaavana. It  is  believed  that Lord Shiva appeared in the form of Jyotirlinga and  rescued  the  imprisoned  and  vanquished  the  demon. The Shivalingam in the temple faces South with the Gomugam facing East. There is a legend regarding the position of the idol. It is believed that a devotee called Naamdev was singing  bhajans  in  praise  of  Lord  Shiva  and  was asked by other devotees to stand aside and not to hide the image of Lord. On being asked  to do so  Naamdev argued and asked for one such direction where Lord is not present, this angered the devotees and  they  picked him up and placed him on the south side. To everyones astonishment even the Linga was then facing South  with the  Gomugam  facing  east.  The  other  two  temples  dedicated  to  Nageshwar  Jyotirlinga  are  situated  near Audhgram near Purna and another near Almora in Uttar Pradesh.
