Pataleshwar Mandir

The Pink city, Jaipur has various temples but this temple has gained too much of attention that on the festival of Maha Shivratri it is flooded with pilgrims. This temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva and was built around 400 years ago. No evidence has been found on who built it and why but the temple is below the ground level. Around 20-22 feet deep below, this temple was founded in 1977. Eventually to protect it, a wall like structure was built around it since it is still below the ground level. Due to this the temple is named as Pataleshwar Mandir.
