There is a Shiva temple in Rajsamand district whose existence is believed to be from the period of Pandavas. It is said that it was built when the Pandavas came to this area during their exile. However, after his return no one worshiped it for a long time. Then, with the efforts of a local villager, worship started in this temple. Today the situation is such that people from all over the country come to this temple to worship Shivalinga.

This temple, known as Kunteshwar Mahadev, is located in Farara village, about 15 kilometers away from Rajsamand district headquarters.
