Gupteshwar Mandir Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh
In the embrace of natural beauty, about 5 kilometers away from the city, an enchanting sight – Gupteshwar Temple, situated on a hill surrounded by greenery, reveals the divine aura of Lord Bholenath. Standing at a height of 500 feet, the ancient temple of Lord Bholenath welcomes you with a spiritual climb of 84 stairs. The journey to seek blessings of Lord Shiva amid the blessed spell of Sawan becomes a pilgrimage for many devotees from the city and even from far off places.
Built in the state era, the Gupteshwar Mahadev Temple marks the gateway to the city of Gwalior. Its sacred presence has been an integral part of the spiritual heritage of the region, attracting devotees for the fulfillment of their wishes.
With the first Monday of Sawan, plans are made to increase the number of devotees in the city’s temples by three times. To experience a solution of darshan, separate queues of women and men are organized, thereby ensuring peace of the devotees.
