World’s only Kuber Bhandari Shiv Temple

Kuber Bhandari Temple is a Hindu temple located in Gujarat, India. This temple is dedicated to Lord Kuber, the Hindu god of wealth. It is one of the most famous pilgrimage sites on the banks of the river.

There are two stories behind Kuber Bhandari Temple. One is of Shiva Parvati and the other is of Kuber – the elder brother of Ravana (god of wealth). There is a legend about the temple. Once Lord Shiva was passing through this forest near the Narmada River with Goddess Parvati. Due to long walking, Goddess Parvati felt hungry and thirsty due to which she asked for some food and water for Lord Shiva.

But Lord Shiva could not find water and food nearby, so he decided to live in the form of food and water so that whenever other pilgrims come to this place they could get food and water. Therefore the Lord started living there and his name was Kuber Bhandari, who is said to be the god of food and water.
