ACHALESHWAR MAHADEO

It is believed to be the oldest temple in Mt. Abu dating back to 813 A.D. and has a toe mark of Shiva called 'Brahma Khadda'. Achaleshwar Mahadev Temple. A temple more than 2500 years old. It is the only place on earth where the great toe of Lord Shiva is worshiped, that is estimated to be going to the centre of the earth. It is the proud possessor of the glory of rich mythology, theology, folklore and even history. Miracles happened in its hallowed precincts. It is none other than the Achaleshwar Mahadev Temple! Its Nandi, made of an alloy of five different metals, is credited with the marvel of repulsing the Muslim invaders by releasing millions of bumble bees to attack the Muslim marauders. Could not get a picture of the mandir structure. If anyone has a picture pls post it.
